An Insider Day
Behind the Scenes Weekend 2010
Sponsored by Tri City National Bank
March 13 & 14, 10 a.m.-2:45 p.m., Milwaukee County Zoo
Free Zoo admission for Zoological Society members with ID. Milwaukee County parking fee: $11. Call (414) 256-5466 for information.
 Young zoogoers learn what it means to “eat like a bird” in the Zoo’s Herb & Nada Mahler Family Aviary at the event last year. |
Quick: What’s a favorite toy of the Zoo’s tiger cubs? (Feathers.) What’s Snow Lilly the polar bear’s favorite treat? (Apples and peanut butter.) Learn fun facts about your favorite Milwaukee County Zoo animals at this once-a-year event when zoogoers can go behind the scenes. You could visit areas such as the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country, the elephant area and the aviary. Members of Zoo Pride, the Zoological Society’s volunteer auxiliary, will guide tours and answer questions on everything from animal diets to how keepers care for these animals. You can also see animal artifacts up close at the Remains to be Seen Carts in the U.S. Bank Gathering Place.
Note: Due to the popularity of this event, you may not be able to see all behind-the-scenes areas at the Zoo.
