Visit the Zoo Day
December 27 · Level 5 · #1185 of 2238
Visit the Zoo Day is an informal observance inviting people to spend a day among animals. It is a reminder that a zoo is worth a trip even in the middle of winter.
How it is celebrated: families and groups of friends head to their local zoo, watch the residents, learn about the animals and catch the keeper talks where they are offered. A warm coat and a flask of hot tea help.
Winter visits tend to be quieter, and cold-loving animals such as polar bears, penguins and snow leopards are often livelier in cool weather than in summer heat.
