Learning Center
The Learning Center is the first interactive museum ever connected to a private animal adoption center. Through hands on directed play, children learn how to care for animals.
They "adopt" a plush toy dog or cat which they take to the
pint-sized veterinary office before going to the miniature store to select
the appropriate supplies for their new pet.
Only at ARF can they "Walk in my Paws"® on a creative stage where children will experience what it is like to be a dog or a cat in a human world.
ARF offers a 1 ½ hour, docent-led program designed to teach children about the responsibilities of pet ownership and how to treat animals humanely. Each group receives age-appropriate lessons and experiences. It is open to children of all ages. It's a perfect field trip for school groups or Scouts. The fee is $10 per child.
