It’s a Jungle at the Mazza Museum Funday Sunday Feb. 8

Despite Findlay’s wintery weather, area residents are invited for some tropical fun at “Jungle Expedition,” the February 8 “Funday Sunday” program of the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum.

Free and open to the public, the program offers art projects, games, and hands-on educational stations, along with STEAM activities in a lush, green setting. The Toledo Zoo will be participating at Funday Sunday and giving away 100 free zoo tickets.

Thanks to a sponsorship by the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation, each child who attends Funday Sunday in February also will receive a free book, said Amanda Davidson-Johnston, assistant director at the Mazza Museum.

“We’re proud to collaborate with partners like the Toledo Zoo and the Community Foundation to create experiences that truly benefit our community. Their support allows us to offer something special for families that combines education, creativity, and excitement,” she noted. “It’s the perfect mix of art, animals, and books.”

Registration for Funday Sunday is required and can be completed on the Mazza Museum’s website.

The Funday Sundays 2025-26 series takes place each month through April, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is sponsored by Hancock Federal Credit Union.

Themes for additional Funday Sundays this year are: March 15: Comics Unleashed, and April 19: Weather Wonders.
