Cats & Conservation Awareness Week 4/3 – 4/9

We are celebrating the many felines in our care with Cats & Conservation Awareness Week! In addition to all the great programming you see below, there will also be stations and activities setup around the Zoo where you will be able to learn more about some of the fantastic felines in our care and their counterparts in nature they help support. We will be running fundraisers online and onsite that will go to support our partners at Lion Landscapes, Snow Leopard Trust, and Tiger Conservation Campaign. Donate here.

It’s also one of our favorite time of year – Spring Break! Not only is the weather getting warmer and days getting longer, but we also get to see so many of our friends come out and visit us on their time off from school. Special programming will be held during Spring Break Week, as a preview to our summer programming, which include opportunities to see and learn more about your favorite animals at the Zoo from zoo keepers, naturalists, and docents. View and download/print the schedule here.

All spring break programming is free with Zoo admission.
