(DC) (National Park Service) Pokey the eastern box turtle lives at the Rock Creek Park Nature Center. Though visitors can see and interact with him when we’re open, Turtle Time is an opportunity to learn about box turtles, their habitats, and their diets. Activities during Turtle Time may include a turtle themed story, a craft, or just an opportunity to interact on a more personal level with Pokey.

Recommended for ages 6 and up.
