frogs in LA
i have a couple of kids who are just crazy about frogs. it all started last fall with a traveling exhibition they saw in atlanta called "frogs - a chorus of colors."
does anyone know of any places in the greater LA area that focus on, or at least have a large variety of, frogs?

I have lived in So Cal all my life and I was a tom girl that loved frogs and I cannot think of a place where one would find frogs. I really haven't seen many in the mountains and streams.
I think they have a few at the LA Zoo www.lazoo.org it is a really good zoo and assuming your kids are young, they would have a good time. They have a good reptile exhibit and Reggie the Alligator www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275392,00.html

thanks, wingless and iapetus. we're actually lazoo members, but i've never liked their reptile exhibit building. that frogwatch page is neat, but i think LA is too arid to find any wild frogs.
YVR, you're absolutely right - it's one of the things i've learned about amphibians this past year. in fact, amphibian ark is having a year of the frog campaign to boost awareness.

I would watch for upcoming events at the Science Discovery Museum in Santa Ana. http://www.discoverycube.org/upcoming.aspx
They actually have some summer camps/programs that include learning about frogs.

They have some of the small brightly coloured tropical frogs at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Not a ton but the aquarium is pretty good.
I love frogs too!
