Feature Creature was a free program started in 2006 held at Pet World every Sunday at 3:00p.m. for the whole family. It got retired in 2021 after a long, mandatory pandemic pause.
A Pet World staff member gets out our featured animal for that week and not only teaches about it but, in most cases, offers the chance to pet or even hold the animal.
Voted BEST PLACE TO WORK in Lawrence, Pet World has long been known as an amazing work experience. Spots don't open up often but, occasionally throughout the year, we offer highly sought after paid apprenticeships that can turn into flexible short and long term paid positions.
