Party for the Planet

This year we are celebrating on Saturday, May 3^rd (Rain date May 10^th). Come to the Zoo between 10am – 2pm to help us celebrate! We’ve got a lot going on and you won’t want to miss it!

Thanks to our friends at the Dane County Regional Arborists Group, we will once again be offering our popular tree climbing activity. Volunteers will help kids climb up in to some of the mature oak trees on Zoo grounds. Wheelchair harnesses will be available!

You’ll want to check out the activities provided by our partners from Save Our Songbirds, Dane County Land and Water, Wisconsin DNR, Tree Canopy Collaborative to learn about local plants, and native pollinators and songbirds! We will also be giving away American Hazelnut and Sycamore saplings for you to take home and plant while supplies last. We’ll also have storytime by Henry the Lion, and an opportunity to meet some of our special animal ambassadors up close.
