Asolo Repertory Theatre invited families to explore their "wild side" June 16 at the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. 

Before seeing a performance of the "Jungle Book," families enjoyed an abundance of wild activities, including photo opportunities with a sloth and baby goats, button-making, bromeliad exploration and a Floridian animal sound activity. 

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens made a roar with the kids during the jungle symphony, where animal sounds rang out in the center, followed by kids laughter. 

Outside, there was also a wolf and lion encounter with Big Cat Habitat. 

After the activities, families gathered in the theater to watch the performance of the "Jungle Book."
