Moody Gardens is hosting the fourth of its seven-part “Growing Together,” series on Tuesday, February 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Moody Gardens Rainforest Pyramid. Activities will include a day in the life of a Rainforest Pyramid biologist! Participants will create toys as part of our animal enrichment program and present a nice gift to our beautiful macaws to add something special to their environment to assist with their learning!

Programs will be held on the first Tuesday of every month ending on April 4, 2017 to coincide with Senior Tuesdays at Moody Gardens. Senior Tuesdays offers guests 65 and older $5 admission per attraction including the Rainforest Pyramid, Aquarium Pyramid, Discovery Pyramid, Colonel Paddlewheel Boat and movies at both the 3D and 4D Theaters.
