May 7, 2022 – Today, Scovill Zoo hosted the Zippy Zoo Kids Fun Run at Scovill Park for kids ages 5-12. The run was just under a one-mile run where kids ran between 10 animal-inspired activities. Stops included hopping like a wallaby, dashing like a cheetah, crawling like a mongoose, posing like a flamingo, and more.
“We like to have a good time inside the zoo learning about animals, learning about conservation, but it’s also good for kids to be out in nature and the elements as well,” said Ken Frye, Director at Scovill Zoo. “It doesn’t have to be a very strenuous thing, it can be just for fun. The animal-themed activities help break up the run and just make it more fun.”
Scovill Zoo is currently celebrating Mother’s Day Weekend by giving moms free admission today and tomorrow.
