Species Spotlight: Otter


Join us for Species Spotlight on Saturday, April 28, and Sunday, April 29, to learn more about the otters that call the Zoo home.

Visit our North American River Otter exhibit near the entrance of the Zoo to learn about Ariel. At 9:30 am, she will be receiving enrichment items and then at 1:30 pm, our Zookeepers will be working on some training with her. You can also stop by the lobby from 10 am to 2 pm to grab your otter trading cards and collect them all year long. Species Spotlight is included with Zoo admission!
 

Sporting KC Day at the Zoo


Sporting KC has faced some formidable opponents but none as wild as our animals! Join us for Sporting KC Day at the Zoo on Sunday, May 6. See Sporting KC players, Diego Rubio and Tim Melia take on the Zoo’s dynamic defender, Delilah the sea lion. Watch them play a little one-on-one during the Sea Lion Splash at 10 am and then they will sign autographs for Zoo guests from 10:30 to 11:30 am.

Sporting KC players Graham Zusi and Johnny Russell will paint alongside our elephant artists. Who will create the best masterpeice? Find out at our elephant exhibit at noon. Zusi and Russell will also sign autographs from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. 

See if you have what it takes to play for Sporting KC. Try out your skills on the Sporting KC Futsal Court located behind the sea lion pool from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. 

Our animals are getting in the Sporting KC spirit as well! Animals in Tropics, Helzberg Penguin Plaza and Discovery Barn will be enjoying special enrichment items like t-shirts, cups and more donated to them by Sporting KC. Our orangutans are “suiting up” in Sporting KC attire.

Get in the Sporting spirit and save! Wear Sporting KC apparel on Sunday, May 6, and receive $3 off the price of regular admission.
