NATURE EXCHANGE
Do you have a collection of natural objects at home? It could be rocks,
sand, shells...just about anything from nature. If not, maybe you'd like
to start one. The Dallas Zoo Nature Exchange is an interactive exhibit
where kids and adults can earn points to "buy" natural objects
or trade objects they bring to the zoo...with plenty of fun learning along
the way.
