Ferret Feeding
Visit with FCMoD’s very own live black-footed ferrets, the most endangered mammal in North America!
Join us in the Natural Areas Exhibit to learn about the conservation work being done to return black-footed ferrets to the wild, from the national captive breeding program to new advances in cloning. Meet the different ferrets that live at FCMoD, and watch as our furry friends tear into their weekend meal. Who knows, you just might become BFFs with our BFFs!
Museum admission is not required to attend this program, but the capacity is limited and first-come, first-served.
Live From The Dome
Join us for a live-stream concert experience like none other featuring Companion! Companion is the Fort Collins-based duo of identical twin sisters Sophia and Jo Babb. The pair’s music presents immaculate harmonies, delicate folk melodies, and a nuanced approach to songwriting that feels at once lighthearted and weighted with palpable empathy. Music from their upcoming debut explores themes of new growth, healing, and the natural beauty surrounding us. It arrives as a comfort to anyone in need of a warm embrace, and a reminder to find wonder in the small things.
Watch Wednesday, March 30 on our YouTube Channel.

Endangered Species Day Events
Endangered Species Day takes place on May 20 this year, and on Saturday, May 21 you’ll be able to explore the meaning of the day at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery.
Partners from Colorado Parks and Wildlife, City of Fort Collins Naturals Areas, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center will be on hand to share their recovery efforts for one of the most endangered mammals in North America: the black-footed ferret.
At the event, you’ll meet two live black-footed ferrets, attend a ferret feeding, and see two very special “mama ferrets” who are part of the amazing story of the cloned Elizabeth Ann, who is the first clone of a North American endangered species. The ferret feeding takes place at 11 a.m.
Children and adults can make black-footed ferret masks and enjoy the offerings from our partners as well.
This is a free event.
