Party for the Planet
April 21 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Included with Zoo admission.
Join us for Party for the Planet* at Zoo Miami on April 21st from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests can discover various ways to support the environment through conservation-themed activities designed for the whole family! Meet eco-minded community partners and enjoy giveaways, animal meet & greets, Zoo Squad appearances, music, games, and more. Additionally, enjoy fun enrichment activities for our animals, featuring items crafted in our Animal Fun Factory from recycled and natural materials.
Guests can come in FREE of charge when they turn in a cellphone** as part of our ECO-CELL phone recycling program. These donated cell phones will help gorillas by hopefully reducing the need for coltan – a mineral extracted in the deep forests of Congo in Central Africa, home to the world’s endangered lowland gorillas. Fueled by the worldwide cell phone boom, Congo’s out-of-control coltan mining business has in recent years led to a dramatic reduction of animal habitat and the rampant slaughter of great apes for the illegal bush-meat trade.
Animal Enrichment Schedule:
Even our animals will be joining the fun with enrichment items made at the Animal Fun Factory from recycled and natural materials.
