Mother’s Day – Mom’s are FREE!

Sunday May 11th – 10am – 6pm

Celebrate the mom in your life with a wild adventure. As long as seasonal weather allows, we’ll have the bonfire going at the Front Reception area so you know the drill, BYORoastables. We’re hoping a few species will also be partaking in Mother’s day with offspring from possibly, muskox, bison and other species later in the a summer.  Stay tuned – if we have babies we’ll do some special programming.
