National Endangered Species Day is recognized every year on the third Friday of May. This year we will be recognizing this day during our Endangered Species Day celebration on Saturday, 21 May, 2022.
Join us for this educational open park event where guests will learn all about our animals, with a special focus on those listed as “endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We will have Keeper Talks throughout the day at various animal stations and guests will learn all about the ways they can help our animals and how to help protect these species in their everyday lives. Guests of all ages are invited to participate in our Keeper Talk sessions!
Our Education Department will also have educational worksheets for our younger guests to complete in our picnic space after their tour!
