Webs of Wonder: All About Spiders

Friday, October 24, 2025 · 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

This hands-on program Led by Jasmine Saunders from Oak Park Natural Pet and Fish lets young children safely meet a friendly tarantula and other live spiders while learning about their amazing abilities and important role in nature. Kids will discover spider facts through close observation and guided interaction with these fascinating creatures. The experience helps children overcome fears while building appreciation for spiders in a fun, educational setting. We're so grateful for a grant from Oak Park Township and River Forest Township Youth Services Committee that help fund Miss Jasmine's Touch and Learn spider sessions.
