Spring Fun At the Zoo
Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater
Get ready for an exciting show featuring amazing animals and their natural behaviors.

Connect with these incredible animals, meet their keepers, and find out how you can help wildlife!
Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater
Bring your curiosity
Join the fun as keepers read the zoo’s most exciting letters from animal fans! Watch as each letter brings a new animal to the stage, doing what they do best – flying, running, or even climbing! With Rocket the Mail Terrier delivering the letters, this lively show will keep you laughing, learning, and amazed. Bring your curiosity and get ready for a show you’ll never forget!
