The Zoo Gourmet
December 14 10:00am-12:00pm
Food is a huge part of celebrating holidays! At the Zoo, our animals feast year-round on carefully planned diets. Join us for a holiday food frenzy and learn how we feed thousands of animals every day. Through games, a hike around the Zoo, and with the help of animal ambassadors, we’ll learn about why different animals eat different foods, and how the Zoo manages its many menus.
