Going To The Zoo

Credit: ABQBiopark

The Children's Hour, 7/20 Sat 9a: We're going to the zoo and you're invited! We'll have a FREE live show from the Albuquerque Zoo on the Africa stage with Dr Flynn, the ABQBiopark's mammal curator, and featuring musical guests, the band Zoolojams. 

Learn about how zoos are working to save endangered species, including the snow leopard at the Albuquerque Zoo. The kids find out what it's really like to be a zookeeper.

All ages are welcome! For free entry, the zoo will open the northernmost gate in the parking lot for just 15 minutes from 8:30 to 8:45am.  

Find us between the hyenas and chimps for The Children’s Hour this Saturday, July 20th, live at the Albuquerque Zoo. This show is brought to you by The Children's Hour Inc.
