Zoo Open for Holiday Event

(Michigan City, IN) - The zoo in Michigan City will be open this Saturday for the first “Wild Winterland” event.  Visitors can see animals like an armadillo, corn snake, hedgehog, mini horse, and chinchilla from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

 

People can also take photos with the Grinch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the classroom at Washington Park Zoo or have a cup of hot cocoa in the Peacock Café on the grounds of the lakefront zoo.  The Treehouse Gift Shop will also be open for the occasion.

 

According to zoo officials, the African Lions and Bengal Tigers will not be out for viewing because of the ongoing reconstruction of their expanded habitats.

 

As a result, the price of admission has been reduced to $5 for adults and $4 for children ages 3-11.  Admission is free for children under 2 and zoo members.
