You get to see animals at a time when no one else usually does\, and many of them are especially active as they get settled in for the night.” \nThe zoo’s big cats seem to enjoy watching guests on the Twilight Tours\, too! The experience provides a perfect view of the African lions and the snow leopards. Snow leopard Ahava seems to love interacting with guests on Twilight Tours\, often jumping up to the top of the rock pile to be practically face-to-face with people\, where she can watch and follow them\, even running back and forth a bit. \nTickets for the Twilight Tours will be available at the Adventure Park’s Base Camp Building at the time of the events. The final tour each evening will depart at 7:30 p.m. Regular prices for the Canopy Tour will apply: Adults – $8; Seniors (62+) and Kids (3-15) – $6; and Kids under 3 – Free.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy a “last hurrah” before the end of summer. Discounts will be available at the door starting at 9:00 a.m. when the zoo opens. \n“We’re so grateful to Meijer for their continued partnership and support\,” says Carmen Murach\, NEW Zoo Director. “Offering free admission to the first 500 guests provides an opportunity for us to reach people who may not otherwise be able to visit. We look forward to this fun celebration with our community.” \nWhile you’re here\, keep your eyes peeled for some of the many babies born this year! The American Red Wolf pups are *almost* the same size as mom and dad now\, but you can still tell them apart by their HUGE ears (which they haven’t quite grown into)! The baby snowy owls are getting their adult feathers but still have quite a bit of fluffy gray down\, making them appear extra cute. Our young cotton-top tamarin\, Ventisco\, loves to bounce around his habitat\, playfully interacting with his family members. Several new-to-the-zoo critters can also be seen\, such as Odin the striped skunk\, a family of red-eyed tree frogs\, and Sunny\, our new female wattled crane.
