Help Ranger Kevin celebrate Tarantula Appreciation Day by joining him for a closer look at these amazing arachnids. Click program title for more details.
Are you scared silly of spiders? Deathly afraid of arachnids? Well, perhaps a little knowledge about these incredible animals can help you fight your fears. We’ll give you five good reasons (or more) why tarantulas deserve to be admired and respected, and not reviled and avoided. Reason number one: tarantulas are venomous, but there’s not one documented case of a human being dying from a tarantula bite. In the world. Ever. To find out why and more, drop in anytime between 5:30-7pm.
Please note: Summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website is the best resource for verifying the program’s current status, so please check the program listing prior to departing for your scheduled program.
