Valentino’s Fa-BOO-lous Birthday: Expert Talk

October 13 | 12:30 pm - 1 pm

General Admission Tickets

Mon., October 13 | 12:30 – 1 pm
Included with General Admission

#DidYouKnow our resident Linnaeus’s Two-toed Sloth, Valentino, was born on Halloween?! We’re celebrating a little early this year because nothing is creepier than the number 13!

Join us for a ONE DAY ONLY Expert Talk and card signing featuring the birthday boy himself. Write a birthday wish for Valentino on an oversized birthday card, then watch him add his own “signature” using his natural ability to grasp and move objects as a National Aviary expert provides insights on his “life in the slo-o-ow lane.”

Valentino’s Fa-BOO-lous Birthday Expert Talk Schedule:

10 am – 12:15 pm: Sign Valentino’s Birthday Card | Atrium
12:30 pm: Expert Talk and Card Signing with Valentino | Helen M. Schmidt FliteZone™ Theater (seating is limited)

Don’t forget to roll your General Admission cost into a National Aviary Membership to receive FREE admission to the Aviary for an entire year and other exclusive benefits, all of which help to further our work to save birds and protect their habitats.
