ARE YOU CRAVING SOME ANIMAL TIME BEFORE THE ZOO OPENS TO THE PUBLIC?

Join us to Rise and Dine with the Animals, where you can enjoy a continental breakfast by Proof of the Pudding while also enjoying an early morning view of the animals as they get ready to start their day.

Each program will include an educational component to learn more about the species, time with an Animal Care Professional to hear about the individuals in their care, a memorable takeaway connected to the featured animal, and Zoo admission to stay and enjoy the Zoo at the end of the program.

UPCOMING DATES:
September 9 & 30: Giant panda
October 7 & 14: Gorillas

TIME(S):
8:30 – 9:30 a.m. 

THEMES:

September 9 and September 30: Giant pandas
Start your day alongside the pandas at Zoo Atlanta, joining them in breakfast (don’t worry, yours won’t be bamboo!) and exploring the world around you. See the hard work that goes into caring for the pandas and chat with the Animal Care Team to hear some of their favorite stories from working with pandas. Explore the world of pandas and our relationship with them over the years through activities and stations created by our Education Team.

October 7 and October 14: Gorillas
Bring your troop on October 7 or Octoer 14 to join our gorilla troop for an interactive breakfast, learning more about how we care for this iconic species and individuals like the legendary Willie B. As you eat, you’ll watch the gorillas start their morning, exploring their habitat and finding surprises left for them by the Animal Care Team, and then get the opportunity to hear firsthand what it is like to care for gorillas at the Zoo. Throughout the program, spend time with our Education Team and a variety of activities and biofacts to learn more about gorillas at the Zoo and in the wild.
