“Not everyone is aware we have a veterinarian and a vet team on staff who care for our animals daily,” added Johansen. “We have a clinic where they can perform surgeries and more. It’s safe to say they’re always busy.” Other activities throughout the night include giraffe feedings, an outside look at the upcoming lion exhibit, interacting with the farm animals, and raffles. All raffle packages include activities guests can only experience at the zoo, which Johansen says is something guests won’t want to miss.
As Zoofari evolves each year, its powerful message will not change. “We want to help people understand all of the good zoos do,” said Johansen. She continued, “The zoo is also important to our quality of life in our community, and I think helping people understand that is important.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT GREATZOO.ORG+
