Spring is here! Come celebrate the return of Zoo Tots and our hibernating friends at the Zoo. We will celebrate April by learning all things Salamander.This monthly 30-minute program, for children 22 months to four years who are accompanied by an adult, may include stories, games, crafts, and live animals.

Join us at the Zoo on Saturday, April 20 for our Party for the Planet! Registered volunteers will participate in cleaning up Beardsley Park. At the Zoo, we will feature fun, green-themed activities such as an Art Sculpture Show. As part of our collaborative efforts with the AZA SAFE program, the students of One River School of Art & Design will create sculptures of endangered animals using recycled materials that will be displayed at the Zoo. We will also feature a DIY seed ball table where visitors can create seed balls using specific soil, seeds, and clay mixtures. These seed balls can be taken home and planted in pollinator gardens to help support local ecosystems and extend our efforts to people's daily lives.

Connecticut’s only Zoo wants to thank all mothers and grandmothers. Enjoy this special day by visiting animals and then having lunch together in the Peacock Pavilion.
