An event by MBGA and Zooo Croo JOURNEY HOME: Adapted to Habitat
All animals have special adaptations to help them meet their needs in their specific habitat. Exploring and understanding these adaptations can help conservation efforts; changing a habitat too quickly can render adaptations less or not useful.
Save the date! A new set of caches for the Assiniboine Park Zoo will be released with “Journey Home: Adapted to Habitat” on Saturday, September 28, 2024. This event’s format will be similar to our 2023 event to allow caches to be found throughout the day.

We plan to publish the caches after zoo closing on Friday, September 27, to allow folks to load their GPS units should they wish.
The caches will be available starting at 9:00am with the opening of the zoo for all of you FTF fanatics, and the event log will be near the entrance gate inside the zoo. The event log book will be available until 3:00pm so that people can arrive whenever they’d like throughout the day, grab some new caches, and enjoy lunch at the Tundra Grill, or a picnic at one of the many tables placed around the zoo. The zoo closes at 4:00pm.
For our newbies, the Manitoba Geocaching Association is offering a "Learn How To Geocache" workshop at the Zoo's Education Centre in Room A. Receive an introduction into the world of Geocaching and learn how to use your own phone to discover these hidden adventures. Once you are ready, see if you can find the new caches hidden throughout the Zoo. The workshop starts at 10am and the Zoo's Education Centre is the grey building located next to the barn in Aunt Sally's Farm.
Admission, or membership, to the Assiniboine Park Zoo is required to participate in this event.
Please visit: http://www.assiniboinepark.ca/zoo for regular admission rates. Tickets purchased online are valid for one-time use within 90 days of date of purchase and are non-refundable.
An announcement will be posted on Thursday, September 26 with any last minute updates... stay tuned!
Please note: All current traditional zoo caches will be available until closing on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
