Wild Times
During the summer season, public programs, known as Wild Times, are offered daily. These programs can include animal feedings, discovery stations, enrichment or training sessions, story times and keeper talks. The schedule for Wild Times changes every day, so check the “Today’s Events” board in the admissions building when you enter the zoo. Wild Times are free with zoo admission.
Special Event Days
The zoo’s education department sponsors special event days throughout the year. Our special events are themed weekend days that incorporate activities, games and crafts that emphasize an animal or topic. Check the calendar for events such as Spring at the Farm (May), Bear Awareness Day (May), Biodiversity Day (June), Bug-a-rama (July), Zookeeper Day (August) and Elephant Appreciation Day (September). All of these fun-filled days are free with zoo admission! Check the calendar for specific dates.

Rise and shine with the animals! Join the zoo staff as they prepare exhibits for the day and feed the animals. Then enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet at the Bear’s Den Café. Program fee includes tour, breakfast and zoo admission for the day. This program generally runs from May to October. Please check the calendar for prices and the next available date.
