Celebrate Father’s Day at Zoo New England!

On June 19, dads receive free admission at Franklin Park and Stone Zoos!







 

WHAT:          Help us celebrate your dad (and all of ours!) at Franklin Park and Stone Zoos this Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19, with free admission for all fathers throughout the day. Bring Dad along with the entire family to either Franklin Park Zoo or Stone Zoo for a memorable day spent discovering all of the incredible animals at each Zoo!

 

Be sure to look for all the animal dads at both Zoos. At Franklin Park Zoo, say hello to Kit the western lowland gorilla and his offspring Kambiri, Azize and baby Pablo in our all-new outdoor habitat, Gorilla Grove. Guests are also invited to visit Butterfly Hollow, where they can stroll through a tranquil environment filled with butterflies. This tented, outdoor exhibit also features garden beds, a pond, fairy houses and soothing surround-sound music. At Stone Zoo, stop by the white-cheeked gibbon exhibit to visit dad Kien and his offspring! Guests can also enjoy a larger-than-life experience at Stone Zoo’s Supersized Creatures! special exhibition. As you explore Stone Zoo’s grounds, prepare to spot over 30 life-size animal sculptures made from millions of colorful bricks!
