On Saturday, Feb. 15 -- Vanimal-tine’s Day -- your favorite Toledo Zoo animals find Valentine-themed treats throughout the day.

Whether you want to show your sweetie that you’re a big, cuddly bear, or that you’re as cute as a couple of cinereous vultures, share the love at feeding and enrichment activities throughout the day:

Animal/Activity Location Time
Polar bear enrichment Arctic Encounter® 10:30 a.m.
Meet a reptile Reptile House 11 a.m.
Orangutans Kingdom of the Apes 11:30 a.m.
Elephants Tembo Trail 1:30 p.m.
Vultures Vulture Exhibit 2 p.m.
Small primates Primate Forest 2:30 p.m.
Meet an animal Nature’s Neighborhood 3 p.m.
Bird feed Nature’s Neighborhood 3:30 p.m.

Some animals will make a meal, and some will make a mess, but all of them will interact with their environments and engage in naturalistic behaviors. It’s part of the Toledo Zoo’s overall program of enrichment, which the Zoo provides consistently to ensure the animals’ well-being.

When you visit, be sure to stop by Nature’s Neighborhood, the award-winning children’s zoo, and the fun new butterfly encounter in the Museum of Science. And no Zoo visit is complete without seeing Baru, the huge saltwater crocodile brought to Toledo by Block Communications, Inc.!
