Nature’s superheroes are landing at The Living Desert! Families are invited to join an interactive pollinator mission featuring giant animatronic creatures, hands-on challenges, riddles, and a pollinator playground maze.
Pollinators are responsible for producing one-third of the food we eat, along with raw materials used in everyday essentials like clothes, cosmetics, and medicine. By traveling from flower to flower in search of nectar, they spread the pollen plants need to reproduce — supporting ecosystems, food systems, and our daily lives. Yet despite their superpowers, pollinators face growing threats from habitat loss and human-made challenges.
Choose a team, follow clues throughout the Zoo, and discover how pollinators help grow one-third of the food we eat. Complete the quest to unlock a special power, earn a collectible trading card, and learn simple ways to help protect these everyday heroes.
Mission: Pollination! is also buzzing across the Coachella Valley! Check the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens website to see where else these pollinators are landing!
