These extraordinary creatures are one of nature’s most inspiring examples of survival and adaptation. Brave the harsh desert elements with elephant baby “Littlefoot” and her family and witness their timeless tale of resilience, ingenuity, and close family bonds.

After this special screening, you’ll have an opportunity to learn about elephants roaming the rolling hills of the Volunteer State.
