Welcome to the heart of family fun and adventure this fall! The Critter Club at Fairview Town Center is thrilled to announce its Fall 2024 session, destined to be a series of Saturdays filled with awe and learning from September 14 through October 19. Nestled at The Park, 239 Town Place, this unique event invites kids and adults alike to meet and learn about some of the most fascinating animals on the planet, all within the vibrant setting of our beloved town’s center near the iconic Dillard’s, JCPenney, and Macy’s.
Open from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, each session promises not just an up-close encounter with an extraordinary animal but also an array of fun-filled activities. From face painting that turns your face into a canvas of imaginative wildlife to engaging activity sheets designed to challenge and entertain, and not forgetting the excitement of winning prizes, Critter Club has something for everyone. Whether you’re a local neighborhood resident seeking a family-friendly outing, a potential home buyer eager to experience the community vibe, or a local business owner looking to connect with the community, mark your calendars for a fall filled with furry fun!
Curious about who you’ll meet each Saturday? The lineup is as engaging as it gets – starting with the playful antics of a Spider Monkey on September 14, moving through the elegance of an Asian Leopard Cat on September 21, then bounding alongside a Kangaroo on September 28. October brings the formidable Morelet’s Crocodile on the 5th, the adorable Fennec Fox on the 12th, and closes with the entrancing Ruffed Lemur on October 19. This carefully curated selection ensures that each week offers a fresh, exciting peek into the animal kingdom’s wonders.
The Critter Club provides an immersive educational experience designed specifically for children ages 3 to 10, though all are welcome to join in the fun (younger and older participants may need assistance from parents for some activities). Getting to the Club right on time ensures you won’t miss out on any critter meet-and-greets or activities, but keep in mind to arrive promptly as the adventures start at 10:30 am sharp and wrap up at the stroke of 12:00 pm. To facilitate a smooth flow and ensure that everyone gets a fair chance to participate, attendees might be divided into groups and rotated through different activity stations based on colored tickets, following the guidance of Fairview Town Center (FTC) staff.
When packing for your outing to Critter Club, remember that our animal stars prefer the spotlight without competing scents; hence, bringing foods or beverages with strong odors is discouraged. However, feel free to bring along lawn chairs and blankets to make yourself comfortable – just no tents or shade structures, please. While we encourage everyone to bask in the joy of these moments, it’s important to note that during presentations and special events, toys that could distract or create disturbances are not allowed. But worry not, there will be plenty of supervised play and safe recreation opportunities once the educational part concludes. Do bear in mind, though, that while we aim to adhere to the announced schedule, the unpredictable nature of our animal friends might necessitate last-minute changes. Rest assured, any substitutions will equally delight and educate.
Embark on this extraordinary journey with us this fall and create memories that last a lifetime. Critter Club at Fairview Town Center offers a unique blend of education, fun, and community engagement, making it the perfect destination for families looking to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom together. We look forward to welcoming you and your little adventurers to a world of furry fun for everyone!
