Sign up in the morning for behind-the-scenes tours of Crane City, our main breeding facility, and our other crane care facilities, which are first-come, first-served the day of the event. Don’t miss this once-a-year opportunity to see a “cranedominium” up close. Other special activities include “tent time” with George Archibald, a guided prairie walk on our restored prairie, radio-tracking demonstrations, and special talks by our expert staff. Keep an eye out for photo opportunities with Hope, our new Whooping Crane mascot created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Watch for her red head, white body and black wingtips as she gives away high fives and hugs around our site!
