We’re open- come celebrate Memorial Day at the zoo! Extended summer hours have officially begun, so we are open from 9 am- 7 pm daily! #thezoocomesaliveafterfive #memorialday

Happy 23rd birthday to Grubbie the Hyena! She celebrated this morning with blood and milk ice treats. Thanks Keeper Jacquelynn for the photos!

Frisco is adapting quickly to her new home! Her and Loki, our male Canadian lynx, are getting along well. Have you spotted them together yet?

That feeling when it’s Friday, 85 degrees, AND it’s a long weekend 😎 don’t forget, we are open on Memorial Day- and Saturday kicks off our extended summer hours, so you can enjoy the zoo from 9 am-7 pm daily! Happy (almost) summer!

Happy #worldturtleday! Ok... this is actually a radiated tortoise, but who says we can’t “shell-ebrate” tortoises today too?

We are so excited to unveil the latest upgrade to our Z.O.&O. train ride: a wheelchair accessible train car! Today, Layla Blanton was able to ride the train in her wheelchair for the very first time. We are so grateful to the M E Raker Foundation and the AWS Foundation who helped make this possible, and to the Blanton family for cutting the ribbon on the brand-new accessible car. We hope more families will enjoy riding the train together and making memories just like the Blantons!

Introducing... Zoofari! Formerly known as Zoo Brew & Wine Too, this is the same event you love and know, but with a fantastic new look & feel! We know this will be the best year yet, so mark your calendars- tickets go on sale July 9th and always sell out fast! For more information, visit: http://kidszoo.org/event/zoofari/

That face you make when it’s almost the weekend 😛 thank you to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate #EndageredSpeciesDay! #SavingSpecies

Our very own veterinarian, Dr. Kami, was part of a team that helped translocate birds in the Marianas islands. Thank you Dr. Kami for all of your hard work, both at our zoo and around the world! #SavingSpecies

Did you shop at Kroger today? We did! Our commissary usually goes shopping every Wednesday to buy food and supplies for our animals! A big thanks to everyone who shopped today to help support the Zoo, and to Keeper Emily for the photos! #ZooDay
