Roosevelt's Terrariums

One of the largest terrarium shops around, Roosevelt's runs build-your-own classes where, on the larger sizes, you can add a live dart frog (sourced from a local pet shop) to the sealed glass world you're building.

The move: Take the terrarium-building class as a pair and each add a dart frog to your own miniature ecosystem — you leave with a living, sealed jungle you built by hand.
