The world-famous traveler will be at the aquarium from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday. She will be there to explore the brand new Lorikeets exhibit. The event is free with aquarium admission.
Dora is only able to visit on Sunday, so pack your backpack explorers and be sure to come to The Maritime Aquarium.
The Lorikeets exhibit is on display through Labor Day weekend. The beautifully colored birds are housed in a new aviary out on the riverfront courtyard. The exhibit offers 56 Lorikeet and Lory birds from nearly a dozen species. The birds include the entirely green Weber’s Lorikeet as well as the rainbow-strewn Ornate Lory.
The birds are native to the South Pacific, but these birds were hand-raised by Ken Werner, owner of Gulf Coast Butterflies in Naples, Fla. The birds are trained for hand-feeding and visitor interaction.
For more information on Dora's visit, the exhibit or admission fees, visit the website for the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk or call 203-852-0700.
