Now booking!

Behind the Scenes Turtle Bayʼs beloved animal ambassador, Timber the beaver, is who Sharon Clay, the Curator of Animal Programs calls “a gentle giant.” Timber came to Turtle Bay when he was only 7 weeks old and is excited about his human interactions.

Turtle Bay offers a special Behind the Scenes opportunity with him so he gets his fill of affection. During this special encounter, visitors will go into Timberʼs exhibit with him, be face to face, and even get an opportunity to feed him.

“Guests will tell us it is the coolest animal interaction theyʼve ever had,” Clay says. “What he does during the visit is completely up to him!” The visit lasts about half an hour, and pictures are permitted.

The cost per person is $60 for members and $75 for non-members, and includes admission to Turtle Bay Exploration Park for the day. Booking must be a minimum of one week in advance and guests must be 8 years or older to meet him.

Visit turtlebay.org/behindthescenes to meet Timber, the social butterfly of Turtle Bay — heʼll be happy to see you!

Pterosaurs: Ancient Rulers of the Sky On dispaly now - Sept 5, 2022 Presented by Sherrill Bambauer

Supported by The Robert Harris Family

Pterosaurs: Ancient Rulers of the Sky is an exhibition from ScienceWorks in Ashland, Oregon. Pterosaurs explores the majesty and wonder of a genera of flying reptiles who lived between the Late Triassic through the Late Cretaceous Periods of the Mesozoic Era. That was between 66 and 228 million years ago!

“This exhibition is a truly immersive experience with diverse ways for all ages to engage both their minds and bodies in the pursuit of in-depth knowledge of these prehistoric flying reptiles,” says Julia Cronin, Curator of Collections and Exhibits at Turtle Bay. Pterosaurs feature fossil replicas mixed with eight cutting-edge digital interactive stations showcasing the evolution, diversity, and lifestyle of this intriguing group of species.
