Check out the Venus Fly Traps at Roger Williams Park

There's really no denying it; Venus Fly Traps are pretty cool. If you'd like to get your hands on one -- for your kid's educational purposes, of course -- here's your chance.

During February school break, which starts today, the Botanical Center at Roger Williams Park will be giving guided tours daily through its carnivorous plant collection.

Storyteller Len Cabral will be on-hand after the tours to share his stories, and the gardens will also be hosting scavenger hunts.

Today only, the first 100 kids 14 and younger will get their own Venus Fly Trap. If you're nice, maybe they'll even let you feed it.

For more information, call (401)785-9450
