Zootober Fest October
Zootober Fest has made October one of our favorite times of year. Each Saturday and Sunday we offer face paiinting and sand art from 1:00pm - 5:00pm. We're also offering guessing games and a costume contest. This year, the Haunted Bus Tour is back by popular demand. Each Saturday night at dusk we will ride into the Outback for an experience you won't want to miss! Zootober Fest is something your whole family will enjoy.
Happy Harvest November
As winter approaches, our thoughts turn to animal care and nutrition. More feed is required during these months to keep the animals warm and healthy. With your help we can make this happen. The park is accepting monetary donations to support winter feed and vet care cost. Visit the zoo and receive free hot beverages and refreshments. In addition, there will be a dollar off each admission as a thank you to our guests. Register to win our Thanksgiving Harvest Basket for your family celebration. The basket will be given away on Sunday, November 23rd. The winner will be notified by telephone. The animals and zoo crew wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving!
Christmas at the Zoo December
This year Humphrey the camel and his friends will be participating in their first live Nativity. It will be held each Saturday and Sunday from 4:00pm - 8:00pm (December 6-7, 13-14, 20-21). The petting zoo will also be open and you can get those last-minute Christmas gifts in our Outback Welcome Center. There will be complimentary hot chocolate, cider and coffee for your whole family. So come see Humphrey and celebrate Christmas at the Zoo with us!
