Talk to educators and members of the red panda care team, and don’t miss the activity station for kids. Be ready to smile for photos with a costumed red panda mascot greeting guests at the entrance.
We participate in the Red Panda Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative, inter-zoo program coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. SSPs help to ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums, most of which are threatened or endangered, and enhance conservation of these species in the wild.
Come dressed for the occasion! Visit our Kids' Corner to print your own red panda mask (pictured here).
