Phillips Park Zoo celebrates its 100th Anniversary with a free celebration for the entire family on Saturday, August 29 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at its beautiful and historic campus, 1000 Ray Moses Drive.
The event includes workshops with zookeepers who will introduce visitors to the animals living at Philips Park Zoo, live animal encounters with experts from Save Our American Raptors, the Fox Valley Wildlife Center, Indian Prairie Animal Hospital and Incredible Bats; and fun entertainment from comedian and juggler the Truly Remarkable Loon, musician Dave Rudolf, and magic by Randy the Magician.
“The Phillips Park Zoo has been home many exciting animals and even more wonderful memories over the past century,” said Zoo Manager Randy Johnson. “We are looking forward to celebrating with some very special animal guests and inspiring a whole new generation of animal lovers who will come to learn and care for the animal world for the next hundred years.”
The celebration honors the opening of the zoo in 1915, when it originally housed exotic animals. Since then, the mission of Philips Park Zoo has changed to bring people in contact with animals native to North America - from cougars, elks and wolves to alligators, eagles and otters.
