Global Warming

Global warming is real and a threat to the world's animal population. The year 2004 was the fourth hottest on record, extending a trend since 1990. If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at our current pace, our earth's temperature is projected to skyrocket by as much as 10º F in the next 100 years.

"Use compact fluorescent lights rather than incandescent. They cost more but save you money down the road and conserve energy."

Summer Saturday Nights

Beat the summertime heat this July and August as the Zoo stays open until 9 p.m. every Saturday during these two months. Most of the animals are out on exhibit (but some do go in such as the birds, rhinos, anteater, and some of the monkeys), take a sunset kayaking tour, ride the train, and listen to music. The Wildlife Detective Training Academy and Aviary will be closed at night. Last admission is 8 p.m. The Zoo will offer free admission after 5 p.m. every Saturday in July and August. After 5 p.m. on Saturdays, guests will not be permitted to bring outside food or drink into the Zoo.
