They may be tiny, but these colorful amphibians are some of the most fascinating animals in the rainforest. Native to Central and South America, poison dart frogs use their bright colors to warn predators to stay away.

Despite their small size, they're skilled hunters that spend their days searching for tiny insects among the leaves and plants of their habitat.

Stop by and say hello - the poison dart frogs are waiting to welcome you as soon as you walk through the door! 🐸🌿 Tuesday–Saturday | 10 AM–5 PM
