The year 2012 marks a significant milestone for the Chattanooga Zoo as it celebrates 75 years of being ‘the best little Zoo in America." To commemorate 75 years and to say ‘thank you' to the community, the Zoo will be hosting ‘75 Days of Fun' which will begin April 3 and include activities and events in preparation for a 75th Anniversary Grand Celebration set for June 16.
"The Chattanooga Zoo is pleased to celebrate its 75th year as a landmark education, conservation and rehabilitation institution within the community," said CEO Darde Long. "In honor of this momentous year, we will be hosting numerous education, entertainment and enrichment opportunities for the local community to thank them for their continued support."
Guests will have the opportunity to go on photo safaris led by a professional photographer, get up close and personal with some of their favorite animals and zookeepers, attend a variety of conservation lecture series and much more. All activities will be included in the price of admission and guests can check the Chattanooga Zoo's website or Facebook Page for up-to-date information on each day's activity.
As an added bonus, all visitors 75 years of age or older will be allowed into the Zoo for free any time during the year. "We figured if we were celebrating the Zoo's 75th birthday, it is only fair that we celebrate everyone 75 years young," said Long.
