Frog Wranglers
Visit the exhibit when the Museum's trained Frog Wranglers are on hand and you'll learn even more about the frogs! They'll show you where the frogs like to hide within each display and teach you to wait patiently to see if you can see the Surinam Toad catch a fish!
Sometimes they can get you closer to one of our frogs -- the White's Tree Frog from Australia -- and tell you about this particular frog's amazing adaptations to its environment. Make sure you ask them why our frog's nickname is "Dumpy"!
Frog Wranglers visit the exhibit Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The Secret of Frog Ooze
Many frogs secrete, or ooze, chemicals from their skin. Scientists are discovering ways that these chemicals might be useful to humans. In this hands-on activity, you'll touch some slime, explore frog skin, and discover how frog ooze can treat human illness.
The Secret of the Frog Ooze activity is offered Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the run of the exhibit.
