Toddler Tuesday is an Oatland Wildlife Center program for 1-4 year old children and their caregivers that focuses on one of Oatland’s animals, or a relevant nature theme. The program will meet at the picnic pavilion and will include singing, finger play, a story, and a possible encounter with one of our furry, feathered or scaly residents.
Occasionally the program ventures to an exhibit, so dress appropriately and bring your stroller and walking shoes.
Pre-registration is no longer necessary. You can just show up and sign in. Pre-school programs must book a private program.
In the event of inclement weather we may cancel. Please check the website or Oatland’s social media or call the center if you are uncertain (912-395-1500).
Sessions are offered twice on Tuesdays from 10-10:30AM & 11-11:30AM.
If you don’t see a new theme, don’t worry, the program runs all year except one week during 4th of July, one week in October when prepping for Halloween Hike, Nov. 11 and over the winter holidays.
