Pick up a map at either Zoo entrance and head for the Earth Day stations and activities throughout the Zoo.
Activities & Kids' Stuff
South Gate: Show your festive side by making an Earth Day party hat. Write a "wish" for the planet on a candle, and stick it to the Earth Day cake. Choose an animal card, and then go visit your animal at its home in the Zoo.
