Join us the following Saturday as Zoo Atlanta celebrates by focusing on simple actions you can take to help protect endangered species near and far.
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Join us for games, activities, and challenges to discover how healthy habits can create healthy habitats (and vice versa).
Make your own seed bombs and learn how you can help pollinators and other natural wildlife species.
Visit our Biofact Station and get hands-on with skulls, feathers, and more to learn about species that have benefited from the Endangered Species Act and have come back from the brink of extinction.
How are you going to help protect wildlife? Join us at our Pledge Table to learn about different actions and let us know how you want to help.
Discover how you can connect to nature and contribute to scientific research at our Citizen Science Station.
Stop by the Home is Where the Heart Is Conservation Station in The Ford Willie B. Gorilla Conservation Center to find out how you can help combat habitat loss (open between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.).
Stations can be found on Tembo Trek and along the Main Spine. Activities are free for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3; free with general admission.
