Welcome back!
In today’s blog post I will be talking about the local zoo. We have a great zoo here in Topeka and I would encourage you to check it out! The Topeka zoo offers quite a few exhibits and lots of learning opportunities
Admission to the zoo is $5.75 for adults and $4.25 for children. They also offer discounts for large groups and field trips.
The zoo offers several different exhibits. One exhibit is the waterbird lagoon, which is three different ponds that include a variety of different birds including swans that people can feed. Another exhibit is the Kansas carnivore exhibit where you can find several different animals native to Kansas including mountain lions and otters. Another fun exhibit is the tropical rainforest which is really cool. The tropical rainforest includes bats, birds, reptiles, plants, sloths, and other species that are native to the tropical rainforest. The zoo also offers exhibits of popular animals including hippos, tigers, and apes.
The zoo also hosts several events throughout the year. Every year around Halloween, they host Boo at the Zoo, where kids can treat-or-trick at the zoo. They also host giraffe feedings where visitors can interact with and learn more about the giraffes. They also hosts a photography contest each year. The zoo also does a good job about teaching the community about the importance of conservation. They host a few conservation events each year and support many different conservation projects. The zoo also hosts winter, spring, and summer camps for kids who love the outdoors and learning about animals. They also offer an “Eco Club” which promotes protecting the environment.
I hope you all check out the Topeka zoo! We are very lucky to have such a great zoo here in Topeka!
