Critterfest

Fri. & Sat. June 27-28 (11:00am to 6:00pm)

Sun. June 29 (12:00 noon to 6:00pm)

Lubbock’s most popular annual animal event is back again this June.  No where else in town can you get this close to tigers, alligators, buffalos, camels, giant tortoises, big snakes, and hundreds of other cool animals as the Science Spectrum literally turns into a Zoo for the weekend.  Awesome and amazing animal acts, as well as the extremely popular petting zoo, pony rides and cow milking demonstrations, along with hundreds of other animals on display continue to make this event a hit for the whole family!   

Two new exciting shows will be featured at CritterFest ‘08.  Rosaire’s Big Cat Encounters and Crocodile Encounters  will headline the always popular animal entertainment.  Rosaire’s Big Cat Encounters show features five trained Bengal tigers, including a rare white tiger, which will not only astound with their intelligence but teach important lessons about conserving the World’s endangered species.  Crocodile Encounters is an educational reptile show that will introduce you to live American Alligators and Nile Crocodiles in order to educate the public about conserving these often misunderstood animals.

Big Cat Encounters:  1:00, 3:00 & 5:00 pm daily (Exhibit Hall)
