Join us at Zoo Atlanta for Play the Animal Way, a favorite event among guests, animals, and the rest of the Zoo team.
Play the Animal Way is a Zoo-wide showcase of the creative talents behind the novel objects, smells, sounds and activities that keep animals active, interested and engaged year-round. Watch your favorite Zoo animals investigate the most colorful treats of the year, sniff out their favorite scents, and solve challenging puzzles. Human guests can try a few hands-on activities at stations throughout the Zoo.
Stations can be found on Tembo Trek, the Takamenda Gorilla Deck, and along the Main Spine. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Free for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3; free with general admission.
