🎃ZooBOO begins tomorrow, October 15th, with our second annual Sensory-Friendly ZooBOO Night presented by CLASSY 100 RADIO !

Want to enjoy a normal ZooBOO night but experience sensory overload? Stop by our gift shop to rent out one of our free Kulture City bags, that contain different items like noise canceling headphones, prism glasses, and more. Just make sure to return them to the gift shop on your way out so we can sanitize and have them ready for the next guest.

It’s Fig’s 1st birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a VERY special birthday treat?! 🎈

To celebrate, his keeper turned their usual monkey biscuits into special cake treats! 🍰

Fig was SO excited that it's his birthday couldn’t stop bouncing around,a nd while he was busy celebrating, his parents, Nemo & Georgia, happily helped themselves to most of his birthday treats!🎂

🎉 Help us wish this birthday boy a HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, FIG! 🐒🥳
