Hispanic Heritage Celebration
October 3 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Join us for a special Hispanic Heritage Celebration filled with culture, connection, and family-friendly fun!
Throughout the day, enjoy performances by two Folklorico groups showcasing the vibrant traditions of Mexican folk dance. Families can also gather for bilingual storytimes presented in both Spanish and English, hear from our keepers during special keeper talks, and discover more about the animals and the people who care for them. To make the celebration even more flavorful, we’ll also offer a selection of authentic foods and snacks for a limited time.
There’s something for everyone to enjoy, so come spend the day celebrating Hispanic heritage through dance, storytelling, animal connections, and food!
