Silent Auction
Meet the Keepers
Crocodiles can paint? Indeed, they can! With a little help at least. At the Silent Auction you will have the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind animal art submitted by crocodiles, Komodo Dragons, snakes, tortoises, and lizards. All proceeds from the silent auction will be directed to the AZA's Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG) to support crocodilian conservation work being done around the world.
Have you ever wondered what its like to take care of a crocodile? Our Reptile Department will be on hand to answer any questions you have about our crocodiles, what its like to be a zookeeper, or the conservation efforts being undertaken by the Aquarium.
Stop by and say "Hi!" to our event mascot, Coco the Black Caiman! Coco will be stationed near the waterfall on the second-level of the Rainforest.
