momstown Calgary plans over 20 events every month for moms and kids, and one of our favourites is definitely our Discovery Field Trips! Our February field trip was a fun visit to the pet store! Pisces Pet Emporium, Calgary's Pet Store since 1975, is a family-owned business that takes an interest in educating the youth of our community on animals and animal care. They believe that seeing exotic animals enhances children's appreciation for the variety of life on our planet, and that a hands-on experience engages them with the natural world.
The tour allowed our children to learn about exotic pets, including snakes, koi fish, madagascar monkeys, lizards, Cortez the Parrot and Mortoise the Tortoise! It also emphasized the responsibility and fun that comes with caring for any pet.
The kids (and mamas!) were able to touch a variety of lizards and cuddly mammals - they loved it! Katherine, our tour guide offered fun facts about the animals and answered loads of questions from the kids. The parrot, tortoise and other animals emphasized the importance of long-term relationships with animals and the dedication of their staff demonstrates a love of animals and commitment to their care. Some of the Pisces staff have been here for 15 years!
We had so much fun on this tour that we have scheduled another one for Friday, March 22 at 10:30am. Please RSVP for this event on the momstown Calgary calendar so we can let Pisces know how many moms and kids are coming.

A special thank you to Pisces Pet Emporium and our guide Katherine for sharing your knowledge and love for the animals with our momstown Mamas and Kids.
