The EcoTarium is excited to announce our newest traveling exhibit, The Secret World of Elephants!
Join the herd! Be among the first to experience this exciting new interactive exhibit standing in our brand new Stoddard Exhibition Hall!
How do elephants “hear” with their feet, use 16 powerful muscles in their trunks, or reshape entire forests just by eating and walking? Step into The Secret World of Elephants and uncover the science, stories, and surprises behind these extraordinary animals. Through stunning models, touchable teeth casts, interactive exhibits, and video experiences, you’ll explore how elephants think, feel, and communicate. Discover how they engineer the very landscapes they live in, sustaining countless other species—and how people across the world have long revered and relied on them.
