This means you can enjoy the zoo, live bands, family games and the new kangaroo experience -- all in one trip.
“Jungle Boogie Break,” as it’s called, starts March 7 and runs through March 22.
The extended hours will be until 7 p.m.
Jungle Boogie Break features everything we already mentioned, plus animal ambassador presentations and family-style backyard games including a giant Connect Four, Jenga, Checkers, Dominos, and bean bag toss, all set on the Great Lawn.
OK, ready to learn about the kangaroos?
The all-new interactive Kangaroo Krossing is a realm that’s home to red kangaroos, and it’s actually an extension of the zoo’s Wild Australia, zoo officials said in a news release.
For an upgraded experience, guests can get up close and learn more about kangaroos while feeling like they’re on an outback adventure. The new area also includes a renovated snack stand, Snack-A-Roos, and a fun photo opportunity where people can pop out of a kangaroo pouch.
Kangaroo Krossing opens March 6.
Standard admission for Jungle Boogie Break is $19.99 for adults, $16.99 for children ages 3-11 and free for children ages 2 and younger.
