Shanty Shenanigans: A Night on the Ice

February 15, 2025

5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The weather may be cold, but the fun is just getting started! Join us for Shanty Shenanigans, an after-hours evening of ice fishing, winter activities, and good company at The Wild Center.

The Wild Center is excited to announce the arrival of two new animal ambassadors: Gary, a North American river otter, and Elwood, a wood duck! Both animals were rescued after being found abandoned in the wild and have now found a permanent home at The Wild Center, where they will help educate visitors about their species. They will make their public debut during Shanty Shenanigans.

More during Shanty Shenanigans night:

  • Try your hand at ice fishing and meet expert local guides from Adirondack TrOutfitters
  • Meet and chat with experts from ADK Watershed Institute and the NYS DEC Bureau of Environmental Education.
  • Cozy up by the fire with s’mores from the mobile sugar shack.
  • Sip on beer flights featuring Wild Lights Light Lager from Raquette River Brewing and other RRB brews.
  • Get creative with a fish-themed paint-and-sip session.
  • Drop in for games and enjoy classic winter fun.
  • Enjoy additional treats for purchase, including s’mores, donuts, warm drinks, and goldfish.
