Survival of the Slowest is McWane Science Center’s first traveling exhibit to feature live animals. Guests can see everything from a two-toed sloth to boa constrictors and iguanas while learning how animals survive using adaptations like camouflage, energy conservation, and defense rather than speed or strength. It’s included with admission through January 4. We also offer daily animal presentations and educational programs that give guests an even closer look at the animals and the science behind their survival.

Sash the two-toed sloth has daily enrichment at 1:30PM where you can see her up and about!

Please note: featured animals vary daily
