Do you enjoy the dark?  Are you ready to go on an adventure, with nothing but your good senses and a flashlight?  If so, then you just might be the junior explorers we are looking for to attend our Creatures of the Night and Mann Museum Flashlight Tour Education Program and Family Fun Night.  Peer through the darkness and discover walls lined with animal pelts of the past, see several deer species nose to nose, and if you can bear it, just around that corner may be 10 foot Polar bear just waiting to meet you.  Creatures of the Night / Mann Museum Flashlight Tour is an educational program and family fun night with hands-on experience, all sorts of adventure, and lots of fun.  It is geared for boys and girls aged 5-12 years old, and their parents.  Yes, parents, you are invited to join the fun too.
