Travel with PBS KIDS: Wild Kratts on Iowa Adventures

This summer we’re taking a look at where we think PBS KIDS characters would enjoy traveling in our great state. Explore Iowa with Arthur, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, Wild Kratts and Nature Cat. They will be traveling around Iowa featuring different locations and places you and your family can enjoy. 

We are featuring Wild Kratts for this week’s road trip through Iowa! The Kratt brothers will be exploring  the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, the Blank Park Zoo and the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History. Each stop will teach you about local wildlife, diverse habitats and interactive exhibits. Wild Kratts is a show that follows the adventures of brothers Chris and Martin Kratt, where they encounter wild animals, adventures and mysteries. Check out Wild Kratts today and take an adventure on air or on demand via the PBS KIDS App.
