TACOMA, Wash. – Spring is in the air, kids are about to take a vacation from school, and the animals at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium are ready to shine in the spotlight.

Here’s the schedule:

April 1: Scooter the armadillo
April 2: Tilly the aardvark

As with every day, there will be lots of other talks and presentations and very cool animals to see during Spring Break.
