Zoo Boise To Host Major Celebration For Red Pandas This Weekend

There's always something fun to do in Boise and when there's a zoo in the heart of the city you know there's going to be nothing short of a good time.

Zoo Boise especially has no shortage of activities! Just a couple of months ago they hosted an after hours tour of the zoo. This gave everyone the opportunity see the zoo in a whole new way after dark! If you attended the event you got a guided after-hours tour where you may have seen different animals and their different behaviors after hours.

Not only do they have different activities but they just recently got a major upgrade:

The red pandas in Zoo Boise have been in what was supposed to be a temporary home since 2004, according to the Zoo Website. This exciting exhibit, The Virginia R. Bartak Red Panda Passage, will include adequate space for the red panda cubs, even more climbing opportunities, and give the pandas comfortable temperatures year round. Of course there will also be a pathway for the guests and a window view into the day room.

Now theres all new red pandas in an all new home! People have been flocking over to Zoo Boise to see these cute little guys. This weekend they're being celebrated as it's National Red Panda Day. September 20th go to Zoo Boise and learn everything there is to know about the newest addition to our city's zoo. They will also be hosting activities with the red panda mascot and arts and crafts all inspired by red pandas.
