Event Details
The Pantanal: Spotlight on Species (SOS) event will highlight animals from our newest exhibit opening next summer, South America’s Pantanal. We will offer a variety of Meet the Keeper Talks, presented by Phillips 66, and enrichment activities throughout the day for guests to learn more about our animals native to this lush wetland environment and to see them up close.
