We had an absolute blast with the Utica Zoomobile this summer! Our group got up close with a lizard, a frog, a snake, and a tortoise. All while discovering their unique habitats and quirky behaviors.

This program was made possible by the Kenneth V. & Jeannette Remp Sawyer Community Fund, administered by the Northern New York Community Foundation.
