What better place to unwind on a summer evening than at the Zoo? The park is open late on six Wednesday evenings this summer. A different live band will play each week, and the entire Zoo will be open for strolling. Say hello to your favorite warm-weather animals such as the elephants and hippos, and peek into the animal buildings, which will be open until 8:45 p.m. (the aviary closes at dusk). The special summer exhibit, Adventure Dinosaur!, sponsored by Lowe’s, also will be open (exhibit admission is $2.50 per person).
Purchase dinner from the Zoo’s Flamingo Café and Lakeview Place restaurants, or bring a picnic and dine alfresco. The Zoo closes at its regular weekday time of 5 p.m., and then re-opens at 6 p.m. for these events. The bands play between 6:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. If it rains, they’ll be in the U.S. Bank Gathering Place.
