Reptiles are all the rage at the Mill Mountain Discovery Center

This Friday, January 11, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the Mill Mountain Discovery Center will host the children's program "Radical Reptiles."

Children aged four and older are invited to come learn about reptiles and meet the resident reptiles at the Discovery Center. Participants will also get to watch a snake eat its supper!

The program costs $6 per participant, which can be paid through online registration at Roanoke Parks and Recreation's website.
