Upcoming Traveling Exhibitions

Beauty and The Beaks

August 21 - November 30, 2024

In this photography exhibition, visitors will experience the intimate daily interactions of Sandhill Cranes and the landscape of the Swaner Preserve. Breathtaking photographs and hands-on interactives reveal the science of their lives and the habitats they thrive in.

Steve and Jodi have been drawn to photograph Swaner Preserve, each with similar passion but differing visions. Their photographs are a love letter to majestic and timeless beauty; to fog, snow, wind and rain; to mountains and grasses; to big skies and the creatures who live beneath them. They photograph to preserve the fleeting moment; to share with others this dynamic meeting of earth, sky, and nature’s light show that graces us with its presence every day.

Amazing Butterflies

January 18 - May 4, 2025

In Amazing Butterflies, visitors will embark on a challenging journey teeming with friends and foes revealing the unusual relationship between caterpillars, butterflies, and their natural surroundings. Guests’ adventure through this maze will require them to move like a caterpillar, discover an ant that reaps the reward of an unusual friendship, then transform into a butterfly to take flight!
