Lubbock’s Is About To Get Wild With Critterfest

We're officially one month away from an amazing event that brings exotic animals, excitement, and educational opportunities to the South Plains. Best of all, this engaging event is fun for any age.

For approximately 25 years, Lubbock's Science Spectrum has been putting on CritterFest and this year will not disappoint.
CritterFest also brings vendors, face painting, fair-style food and live dog agility shows. Moreover, you will be able to explore Texas Alive: the Brazos River Journey! This 6,000-square foot aquarium exhibit has both fresh and saltwater fish as well as other animals native to the Lone Star State.

Two exciting shows will be featured at this year’s CritterFest. Puppy Pals and Crocodile Encounters will headline the always popular animal entertainment. Puppy Pals is a family-friendly trained rescue dog act that will astound audiences with these animals’ intelligence and dedication to their human caretakers. Puppy Pals was made famous after being featured during Season 15 of NBC’s hit show, America’s Got Talent in 2020.

Tickets are just $12.50 for adults, $10.50 for kids and seniors, and children two and under get in for free. Furthermore, members gain admittance for $5 and with kids at $4. Most impressively, this affordable ticket price gets you access to all of the shows and main attractions, as well as the three stories of museum fun. Additional fees will apply for animal feedings and rides as well as food and photos.

The event is from July 20th to 23rd and will be open all four days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission is only available at the box office on the days of the event, so make sure to get there early to enjoy all of the fun. For more information, simply call 806-745-2525 or visit Science Spectrum's website.
