JUNE SENSORY-FRIENDLY SHOW: Serengeti Sat. June 10, 2023, 11-11:45 a.m. (doors open 10:30 a.m.) The Serengeti is home to most of Africa’s iconic animals, and hosts one of the world’s greatest natural events — the annual wildebeest migration. Nature has orchestrated a perfect symphony in which every species has a very distinct role to play in a larger story — the balance of an entire ecosystem. We’ll see it through the eyes of the youngest members of our animal cast as they imitate their parents, and learn about the mighty roles they’ll play. Learn more. Buy tickets
