Breakfast with the Zebra & Wildebeest
Rise and shine with RWPZ zookeepers as you help prepare our African Plains exhibit for the day! Start your morning by dining on an alfresco hot breakfast in the heart of our Africa region. Then make your way behind the scenes to meet the keepers that keep many of our animals happy and healthy. There you will go “on-exhibit” as you join zookeepers in staging our mixed-species yard for Zebras, Wildebeest and Watusi Cattle! Learn about who eats what as you prepare interesting snacks, scents and more to keep our African crew happy, healthy, and well-nourished. Capacity is limited to 20 participants, so register early!
