Come Play the Animal Way! Enriching the lives of the animals here at the Zoo is not only fun, but very important for their well-being! Come play the animal way, during Winter in July! With tons of snow (literally), fun puzzle feeders, foraging activities, and other activities, see for yourself how the animals get to play everyday. The kids will get to play in tons of snow too, just like our animals here at the Zoo. They will also get to try out some of behavioral enrichment toys just like the animals play with!
