Zoobilation has brought us
In the past, this event, in combination with other efforts, have helped grow and expand the Zoo by adding the African elephant habitat, Overlook Cafe complex, Lakeside boardwalk, Zoofari Sky Lift Adventure Ride, Waters of the World Aquatic Center, along with many others. This year’s fundraising efforts will be focused on raising funds for our new Reptile Exhibit and Facility. The current exhibit has served us well over the years; however, it is time to expand and upgrade. Until funds are completely raised for this new and exciting project, a temporary exhibit has been erected near our train depot. The new exhibit is referred to as Reptile Junction featuring a vast array of reptiles and insects. Displays will be on a rotating basis, so what you see today may not be the same tomorrow. Reptile Junction displays will be divided into biomes; featuring reptiles native to rainforests, woodlands, deserts, and montane. 

Can't make the event, want to participate. 
     -- Contribute to the design and construction of our new Reptile Exhibit and Facility.
     -- Participate in the online, digital auction at BIDDING FOR GOOD. 
        Try your luck, to win an awesome auction item. AUCTION GOES LIVE, Thursday, September 17 @ 12pm (noon). 


*All Zoobilation guests and participants must be at least 21 years old to attend.
