Animal Egg-stravaganza

04/03/2010

10am – 4:30pm

Free with zoo admission

More than a dozen species of animals will receive eggs, egg-shaped items and other Easter themed treats.  Presenting the animals with unusual items is part of the zoo’s enrichment program. Enrichment activities stimulate the animals’ thinking and ability to “hunt” for food as they would in the wild.

In addition, hop on over to nearby Burnet Park, operated by Syracuse City Parks and Recreation, for their annual Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 2 to 10 on the same day.  The hunt offers staggered start times for different age categories ensuring that even the littlest hunters will find some eggs.  After the hunt, participants will redeem their eggs for candy and other prizes.  One lucky winner will receive a new bicycle.  The egg hunt begins at 10 a.m. For more information, call 473-4330 or click here.

Party for the Planet

04/17/2010

10am – 4:30pm

Free with zoo admission

Party for the Planet explains to families how simple going “green” can be by being environmentally safe and how by protecting the ecosystems we can help save endangered species around the world. As well as celebrating the planet, there will be the opportunity to meet and ask zookeepers questions, see endangered species demonstrations and a tour of our “green” building (the Zoo was Central New York’s first green building) and our habitat garden, which is the garden out front.  That garden is full of native plant species and attracts a number of birds, insects, frogs and more.
 
Puppet shows, exhibits on being “green” and local environmental groups will have information tables.  There will be games and activities for the kids as well.
