Wild Wonders with Kentucky Down Under

Wild things are coming your way... 🐍🦜

Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo is bringing a few amazing animal ambassadors for an up-close wildlife encounter you won’t forget. During this lively presentation, you might meet creatures like a python, cockatoo, tortoise, baby caiman, wallaby, or even a dingo—or maybe some other fascinating guests from their traveling animal crew.

As each animal makes its appearance, you’ll learn how these species survive in the wild, what makes them unique, and why protecting wildlife and habitats matters. With expert guides, surprising animal facts, and some truly unforgettable creatures, this interactive experience turns curiosity into a full-on animal adventure.

Psst... Because the animals’ wellbeing always comes first, the exact lineup is chosen the day of the event. But we’ll admit—we’re secretly keeping our fingers crossed for a baby kangaroo. 🤞

🏗️ PLEASE NOTE— Due to construction at Hillview Branch Library, this event will take place at an offsite location. We hope to see you there!
