At the "River Creatures" event, attendees had the opportunity to learn about and observe various small river animals up close, such as crayfish and baby crappie, as presented by animal keepers. Children were also engaged in a Gyotaku painting activity, a traditional Japanese art form, where they painted rubber fish and pressed them onto paper to capture their details, then painted a habitat.
