EARTH DAY EXPO
9 am - 4 pm
Celebrate Earth Day at the Zoo! This is by far the most fun and family-friendly Earth Day celebration in the area! Dozens of booths feature games, take-home crafts and activities for kids and families. Exhibits are designed by environmental groups, plus companies promoting products that make being an environmentalist easy and fun. Sometimes the stress of trying to save the planet can get overwhelming... so be sure to take advantage of mini-massage stations and personal care products while the kids are playing the "Save the Salmon" game. All this is free with regular zoo admission -- so don't forget to visit the wildlife while you're there!
(Face painting and photo opportunities with costume characters are available for a small fee)
Don't forget to stop by and visit Zoboo from the PBS children's show Zoboomafoo, too! Zoboo is brought to you in part by OPB.
