Nat Geo Live: Discovering the Galápagos

Calling all young scientists and wildlife fans. Nat Geo Live: Discovering the Galápagos brings National Geographic Explorer and disease ecologist Sarah Knutie to BroadStage for an evening packed with amazing animals and real-world science.

Through stunning photos and stories from the field, families meet the blue-footed boobies, hammerhead sharks, giant tortoises and other creatures that call the Galápagos Islands home. Knutie also shares her research on Darwin's finches and shark nurseries, showing kids how scientists protect fragile island ecosystems.

The talk runs about 75 minutes, making it a great school-night outing for older kids and tweens who love nature documentaries.
