SUMMARY:FOTZ Giraffe Crossing Sneak Peek
DESCRIPTION:Friends of the Zoo (FOTZ) members are invited to walk through the construction site where Giraffe Crossing will open in just a few months! The site will be exclusively available to members from 8:30 am to 11:30 am; please show your membership card at the entrance. \nThe Zoo encourages you to arrive before 10:30 am to allow plenty of time to travel to the giraffe habitat and tour. If you prefer to ride rather than walk\, the African Tram will provide free transport from World Gate to Africa Market and back for FOTZ members that day. The African Sky Safari will also be operational and is free for premier members as always. For guests with mobility issues\, the Zoo will provide transportation from the Africa Market to the African Kopje area near the construction site\, and then back to the Market. Please keep in mind that there will still be a short distance to walk\, including some uneven pathways made of gravel or plywood at the site. As this is an active construction site\, closed-toe shoes are required for all. \nDuring the sneak peek\, the Zoo will have staff on hand to answer all your questions about the Giraffe Crossing project\, as well as provide information about how you can support the fundraising effort. Since construction is ongoing\, the giraffe herd continues to be behind-the-scenes and will not be available for viewing.
