Kyle: “We have a lot of new, exciting, different things going on at the zoo right here in the future. We have a couple new faces showing up that we will release a press release about later this week. But I’m sure the entire community will be super excited about those babies.”
“We also have our Halloween event coming up. That’s on the the 9th and 10th of October. That’s a great event. Basically, we set up a whole bunch of tables around the zoo full of information and we allow kids to go and and trick or trick or treat around the zoo while observing some of the animals, which is really fun, we have a new thing planned this year that is our Halloween spooky tours.”
“Tickets are available on our website and the Facebook page, but that will be for ages 10 and up as a as it will be spooky and we’ll be feeding some larger prey items to some of our carnivores, but so that should be should be really exciting.”
“We also are rolling out our new ambassador animal program and hopefully we’ll be visiting schools this next year with a with a couple of really cool animals.”
“You know, just to increase some of the education value and and be able to become a resource for that in our community, we’ve done some remodeling down by the seating pods.”
“We we’ve kind of pulled back the nature and some of the plants a little bit, so the seeding pods are are a great place to sit and and there and there’s some artwork down there as well to admire.”
Riley: “Could you remind our listeners of the zoo’s fall hours?”
Kyle: “Yeah, our fall hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and and we’ll be moving to our winter hours at the end of November. That’s Monday through Sunday. That’s the whole week.”
Riley: “Anything else?”
Kyle: “I’m excited to see everybody come down to meet our new friends and and see how people enjoy them and see a great crowd for Halloween.”
