Big Night Celebration: Amphibians on the Move!

POSTED BY
Leah Ingram

Every spring in Maine, hundreds of thousands of amphibians awaken to leave their underground homes in the pouring rain to journey to vernal pools, an event known as Big Night. Salamanders and frogs can travel up to half a mile, crossing roads throughout the state, to begin the next phase of amphibious life cycles.

Celebrate this upcoming natural phenomenon with special programming exploring amphibious life. Experience a dramatic frog life cycle, construct a sensory vernal pool, and create a jumping frog and a mini pond in the MakerSpace–can your frog jump into or over the pond?

While we explore and create, we will gain an understanding of how humans can help support and protect amphibians in the neighborhoods we share.

Included with Admission.

Location: Throughout CMTM

Please check the chalkboard upon arrival for a full list of times and activities.

For more information, visit the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine website.
