How do animals survive in the desert? The amphiptere needs special adaptations to survive, and so do many others that call Saudi Arabia home. Come and learn about the desert habitat and the people and animals that call it home.

We love Little Peeps! The staff are wonderful and my son learns and retains so much from every class. Meeting the animals is a very special experience for both my son and I. It was wonderful to see my son be able to learn and have fun in a safe environment - he loves participating!
