SUMMARY:Underwater Pumpkin Carving & Live Animal Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:\nSaturday, October 25FREE for Members or with General Admission\n\n\n\nAt 11 am and 2 pm, as part of the Bear Bonanza Fun Day, there will be a live underwater pumpkin carving by divers in the Oceans Tank.  If you miss the live demonstration or want to avoid the crowd, a video from a previous underwater pumpkin carving will play until 2 pm.\n\n\n\nThere will also be carved pumpkins in the live animal enclosures in the Discover Exhibit. The pumpkins provide extra enrichment activities and a special treat for the live animals. The carvings will be based on the winners’ designs from the Pumpkin Stencil Design Contest ( https://www.cookmuseum.org/pumpkin-stencil-design-contest-2025/ ).\n\n\n\nEnrichment allows animals in captivity to experience something new and stimulating. This keeps their mind and senses active while encouraging the animals to use their natural behaviors. Look for additional enrichment in the following Exhibits: Discover, Rivers & Streams, Oceans, and the Wonderful World of Insects.\n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n\n\nLive Underwater Pumpkin Carving in the Oceans Tank: 11 am and 2 pm\n\n\n\nUnderwater Pumpkin Carving Video: 10 am – 2 pm\n\n\n\nLive Animal Enrichment in the Exhibits: All Day\n\n
