Big Night Celebration: Amphibians on the Move!

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompsons Point Rd Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)

Every spring in Maine, hundreds of thousands of amphibians awaken to leave their underground homes in the pouring rain to make the journey to vernal pools on a night known as Big Night. Salamanders and frogs can travel up to ½ a mile, crossing roads throughout the state, to begin the next phase of their amphibious life cycles. Join CMTM staff as we celebrate the upcoming spring Big Night with special programming focused on the life cycle of frogs, the importance of vernal pools, and interactive watershed exploration in the IDEXX STEM Learning Hub.
