Beat the humdrum winter routine and come out to Stone Zoo during February school vacation week. Watch cougars, black bears and others have fun in the cold, and learn about unique animal adaptations to the winter temperatures. Just like you, animals can get bored when they’re cooped up all winter, so we’ve come up with novel enrichment activities to keep them stimulated and happy.
Come and see all the creative things we do for our animals, and learn how we keep them active and engaged throughout the winter using enrichment techniques.
Warm up in the Animal Discovery Center (ADC) during daily animal encounters at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., January through February. The ADC is open daily from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
