Record Attendance Set at Living Desert

The following was submitted for publication on behalf of the Living Desert:

The Living Desert President/CEO, Allen Monroe, recently announced that park attendance this past fiscal year was at an all-time-high and surpassed last year’s numbers by 13%. Admission guest count for the year exceeded 360,000 visitors.

“This was a very exciting year for The Living Desert with the myriad of new exhibits and our unique evening special events. Plus, the babies in bloom during the springtime really added the zoo’s popularity,” said Monroe. “It is exciting to have our best year ever and to see more and more people discover all there is to love about The Living Desert.”

In addition to the daily events, animal shows, exhibits, gardens and trails, guests also attended evening galas, fundraisers and other events that back the zoo’s efforts. Popular events included the annual Brew at the Zoo, Wildlights, Zoobilee and Howl-O-Ween, which added to the zoo’s soaring attendance.
