Emu feathers are so cool! Double-plumed and loosely-barbed, these feathers don’t zip up into a sleek aerodynamic design the way flighted bird feathers do. Instead, they provide warmth and protect the flightless emu from the sun and insects.

Each month a Zoo Educator leads our Stroller Safari group on a morning walking tour around select exhibit areas, with stops to meet a friendly Animal Ambassador, read a story, and engage in age-appropriate activities. This program is specially designed for children ages 0-4 years with an adult caregiver. Class size is limited, advance registration is required.

Don't wait! Register today- Stroller Safari typically sells out! https://secure.rec1.com/IN/lafayette-parks-recreation-in/catalog
