- YOU get to pick your own color palette and take home the personalized painting.
- Hand-feed Valentino a few of his favorite treats and feel his soft fur while an Aviary expert shares some of Valentino’s personal stories and discover the importance of rainforest conservation for sloths and birds alike!
