Star Wars extraordinaire or not, get ready for an awesome adventure at the Philadelpha Zoo! Zoo educators will show you real animals that look like Star Wars creatures. You might see owls that look like Porgs, lizards that remind you of Krayt Dragons, and snakes that are just like Exogorths! Plus, you'll learn cool facts about how these real animals inspired the aliens in Star Wars.
You'll go on a super fun scavenger hunt with a mission holocron, a special list of "galactic creatures" to find all around the zoo. Can you spot an animal with camouflage like a Tauntaun or one with a strong bite like a Rancor? It's a thrilling challenge!
At the creative station, you can make your very own lightsaber binoculars for spotting galactic creatures and create cute hand puppets like a Wampa or a Porg.  There will also be a cool talk about endangered species. You'll learn how to be a Jedi protector of nature and find out about real-world conservation efforts, just like those supported by Star Wars: Force for Change. Plus, you can join a special Q&A with zoo keepers to discover how real animals are similar to the Star Wars creatures. It's going to be an amazing day filled with fun and learning! 
And don't forget, dress up as your favorite Star Wars creature or character for even more fun! May the force be with you!
