Earth Day Celebration

Celebrate the Zoo’s 150th anniversary and Earth Day at a one-of-a-kind Tunes & Blooms on Thursday, April 24th! The Earth Day Celebration will feature interactive stations hosted by our Horticulture, Sustainability, Conservation Impact, and Education teams, where you can learn how the Zoo helps the planet through hands-on activities and demonstrations.

Admission is free after 5pm. Enjoy live music from My Brother’s Keeper on the main stage in Vine Street Village and ZOO in The Grove, plus great food and beautiful spring blooms!

The LaRosa’s truck will be available for pizza in addition to other specialty food stations! Enjoy concessions at Hop’s, Tusker’s, Wild Burger, The Coop, and Mai Thai’s Market.

Explore wildlife habitats until dusk, such as Africa, Giraffe Ridge, Cat Canyon, Wolf Woods, and Roo Valley. Discover indoor habitats until 8:00 pm, including the Reptile House, Night Hunters, World of Insects, and Manatee Springs.

Our goal is for all Tunes & Blooms concerts to be Zero Waste events. Please help us achieve this goal by not bringing any single-use plastic items to the Zoo. Thank you!
