While adults love the scenic routes of this bike ride, kids have a new reason to join the special mini-ride this year. Children can show off their favorite animal toys in the Critter Caravan, our 2. 5-mile kids’ route through the Zoo. The animal toy can ride in a bike basket or in a backpack or even on the handlebars (if it’s small)! Plus, after the ride, kids and their plush pet can head to the Kids 'n Critters Corral to grab a snack, get a temporary tattoo, decorate helmets and create crafts.
