Sunset Sips At Stone Zoo Saturday

It's never too early to plan next weekend's activities and if the idea of a glass of wine at sunset interests you then read on.

Saturday from 6-8 p.m. the Stone Zoo will host Sunset Sips, an after-hours, 21+ event. Kingdom Wine Company is the 2017 wine sponsor of Zoo New England. Tickets are $20 for members, $25 for non-members and each ticket comes with two free glasses of wine from Kingdom Wine Company. There will be music, a cash bar and food available to purchase.

Relax and take in the beautiful summer night as you stroll amongst white-cheeked gibbons, Caribbean flamingos, North American river otters, and the rest of the animals that call Stone Zoo home for an after-hours night at the Zoo. Throughout the evening, be sure to visit with the Zoo’s Animal Ambassadors, which could include a baby alligator, a prehensile-tailed porcupine and others. This is the perfect opportunity to learn more and ask the zookeepers questions.

As an added bonus, the Animal Discovery Center is open now and visitors can walk thru and check out the honey bee observation hive, the poison dart frog, and the Panamanian Golden Frog.

Proceeds from Sunset Sips will support the operation and continued growth of Zoo New England, its education programs and conservation initiatives.
