Explore how Maine animals survive and thrive in the winter through art, science, and storytelling with this warm and indoor celebration! Some animals sleep for months and wake when it’s finally warm, while others simply slow down and eat less. Some even freeze solid until spring. Learn about all forms of hibernation during hands-on activities, including:

Special Pop-Up Performances - Tiptoe into a cozy cave and become one of Bear's winter guests—searching for acorns, seeking warmth from the cold, or hiding from the dark—while Bear wants to get some sleep!

Natural Science Exploration - Discover how frogs transform into frogiclces and back again during this frozen pond sensory exploration.

MakerSpace Art & Creation - Design, make, and contribute to the Tiny Underground collaborative project during this self-guided activity. What will you make that lives underground? Will you design a burrow, a nest, or a cozy place to rest until spring?
