Explore Jr.

Our Explore Jr. program is a day of discovery and adventure tailored to younger children ages 5 and up. This spring, we will be offering Explore Jr. Zoology twice (April 30, 2021, and May 21, 2021) and Explore Jr. Botany on May 12, 2021.

From cute, little sugar gliders to massive camels, Explore Jr. Zoology at the Ark Encounter offers an in-depth look at a variety of animals in God’s creation. Learn about animal kinds and the dispersion of animals after Noah’s flood through close-up animal encounters with our trained zoologists.

Explore Jr. Botany at the Ark will investigate the beauty and design of the plant kingdom through a behind-the-scenes experience with the horticulture staff at the Ark Encounter greenhouses.

Greenhouses at the Ark Encounter, where students will get a behind-the-scenes experience with our horticulture staff during Explore Jr. Botany and Explore Botany.
