Event Details

Join Seasonal Ranger Molly at the Visitor Center to learn about some of the snakes found throughout East Tennessee! Learn what snake species call our area home, some fun facts you may not know about snakes, and why they’re such an important part of our ecosystem. You’ll meet three of our resident snakes and, if you’re feeling brave, you’ll even have the opportunity to pet them!

This program is free to attend and will last approximately 45 minutes.
