Bringing the Wild to You!

At the Science Museum of Western Virginia, we’re thrilled to introduce our Animal Ambassadors and showcase the incredible diversity of wildlife. From colorful macaws to slithering snakes and gentle turtles, each ambassador has a unique story to tell. We believe that connecting with animals is a powerful way to inspire curiosity and conservation. Plus, our animal department can provide valuable resources and information for those considering these animals as pets. Join us on a journey of discovery and learn how you can support our animal department to ensure the well-being of these amazing creatures.

Your contribution will go towards providing essential care and support for the animals at The Science Museum of Western Virginia.

If you are interested in sponsoring one of our animals, please contact frontdesk@smwv.org for more information.

Thank you for your support!

We’re thrilled to give a special shout-out to our Living Collections Director, Kat Huffman! Her dedication and tireless efforts have made a remarkable impact on the care and environment of our animals in the past year. She has transformed the department into her passion project, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Kat, for all that you do!
