PICK OF THE MONTH
Bear Awareness Day
Saturday, May 4th

Ursine enthusiasts will barely be able to contain their excitement over today’s activities (10 am–3 pm). Gather family and friends for a day of bear-themed activities, zookeeper chats and more. Chat with bear keepers and visit learning stations where you can discover the latest in bear research and conservation. Find out how to react in a bear encounter and ways to “bear-proof” camping sites. There will be bear-related craft projects designed for kids too.

Reservations are not needed. Activities are free with paid zoo admission ($2 per person, ages 2 & under free). Parking is $5 per vehicle.
