Stone Zoo To Unveil the Caribbean Coast Thursday

Zoo New England announced Monday that the Caribbean Coast, an immersive new experience at Stone Zoo, will open to the public on Thursday, June 7 following a ribbon-cutting ceremony beginning at 9:30 a.m.

The $4 million Caribbean Coast features a walk-through aviary with Caribbean flamingos, scarlet ibis, macaws and Jamaican iguanas, an exhibit featuring bush dogs, and fun, imaginative and interactive experiences designed to further connect guests of all ages to this region of the world. The Caribbean Coast is the only exhibit of its kind in New England where guests will have the opportunity to feed the flamingos.

The Caribbean Coast is being made possible entirely by private funding, including a generous contribution by StonehamBank.

“As a proud supporter of Stone Zoo, StonehamBank was more than happy to contribute to The Caribbean Coast exhibit. We’re excited that the surrounding communities are going to experience new things, like the Calypso Trail, and learn about new animals,” said Janice Houghton, President and CEO of StonehamBank.
