Abilene Zoo Kicks off Summer With The Great Outdoors

 

The Abilene Zoo is starting summer break by celebrating the great outdoors Saturday, May, 28, with Get Out and Play Day.  

Special guest in attendance are Big Country Master Gardeners, Big Country Naturalists and Texas Parks & Wildlife. They will offer hands-on activities between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“Studies show that children who play outside are happier, more attentive and less anxious,” say Abilene Zoo Educator Paige Rudasics. “Nature is good for developing brains.”

Tickets are $7 for adults, $4.50 for children ages 3-12, and $6 for seniors aged 60 and older.
