Come to the Zoo on Spring Break

Posted: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 by: Andi Norman | Category: Arts and Entertainment


If a family vacation isn’t in your budget during the kids’ spring break, check out the fun at the Toledo Zoo. With more than 5,000 animals on a 74-acre campus, you’ll travel “from snow to sand” in the company of polar bears, tigers, frogs and birds without the hassles of flight delays, lost luggage or cramped hotel rooms. Purchase a membership and save all year long!

In Primate Forest, the Zoo’s monkeys will make everyone forget about homework, laundry and getting up early. In Tembo Trail, be sure to stop by the indoor elephant viewing to see Lucas, Renee, Louie or Twiggy. Whatever your favorite animal is, you’re likely to find it at the Zoo. Plus, the Zoo’s award-winning children’s zoo, Nature’s Neighborhood, is brimming with fun.

If you visit on Friday, March 29, you’ll get to see the popular Animal Egg Hunt, when the animals discover treats and enrichment items in their exhibits. Even if you sleep in past the time the gorillas, tigers and orangutans discover their treats, you’ll still see polar bears, wolves, meerkats and vultures in the afternoon.

Afterward, eat in cages that once housed big cats at Carnivore Café; on the way out, grown-ups can grab a great cup of coffee and gourmet treats at Timberline Bakery, inside the Zoo’s North Star Trading Post®. It’s the smart way to get away this spring break.
