Animals of the Night

Don’t miss PCEI’s 12th Annual Animals of the Night, one of the most popular autumn events on the Palouse! Join us from 5pm to 8pm on Friday, October 25th at the PCEI Nature Center. The event will feature live animals, interactive exhibits, face painting and crafts, as well as a campfire and music. Enjoy s’mores by the fire and Wilson Banner Ranch hot cider (by donation). Tacos and beer will be available for purchase from Hunga Dunga Brewing Company. All contributions directly benefit the continued work of PCEI’s education program.

NEW THIS YEAR: Take advantage of the free SMART Transit shuttle from Rosauers’ parking lot to the PCEI Nature Center as there is limited on-street parking near the Nature Center this year. The first shuttle leaves Rosauers’ parking lot every 20 minutes starting at 5:00pm. The last return bus departs PCEI at 8:10pm.

Follow us on Facebook for updates! If you have any questions, please contact us at learning@pcei.org or 208.882.1444.

Thank You!
