At the Little Rock Zoo, Earth Day will be celebrated Saturday April 25th in conjunction with Enrichment Day!

Enrichment at the Little Rock Zoo is defined as the process of providing animals with choices and control while eliciting species appropriate behaviors that exercise the body and stimulate the mind. On enrichment day, the Zoo gives different animals throughout the zoo different enrichment items. This year the Zoo chose to have our Enrichment Day theme be Earth Day!

Come watch the animals have some fun and learn all about what you can do to help save our world’s ecosystems and the animals that live there!
