Arctic Blast

Calendar/Event Details

49116

Beat the heat! Join us for an arctic blast in the middle of summer. "Chill out" with an ice cream treat from the cafe and watch animals cool off with special ice enrichments.

Enrichments improve an animal's quality of life by creating a more stimulating environment and encouraging species-typical behaviors, which is good for their physical and mental health.

Watch animals cool off with food treats and shaved ice piles.
