The hit of the day was the four tons of crushed snow, donated by Lunds Fisheries, which assisted in creating a winter scene. Many kids and some adults beat the heat by climbing up the snowy hill, complete with wintry backdrop. Many of the zoo animals enjoyed the chilly refreshing snow as well.

The snow was given out to many animals as an enrichment program. All of our snow leopards and our Siberian tiger received piles of snow to enjoy and even the camels and goats were seen chewing on the cool treat.
