Night in the Museum Friday, Oct. 17, 2014
7 - 11 p.m.
We've
pulled some great relics from the basement of our historic Museum of
Science -- things from the past that you might think were gone forever.
Did you ever have your picture taken with Yogi bear? Do you remember the
subway? What are your favorite memories of the Toledo Zoo?
You'll
be greeted with a complimentary "Pachyderm Punch" while touring the
historic Lodge, where the elephants, hippos and rhinos first lived. Then
you'll tour the WPA-era Reptile House, a tribute to the craftsmanship
of The Greatest Generation.
Your
evening wraps up with a reception in the historic Museum of Science,
where we're dusting off artifacts you haven't seen in decades, from
memoirs of the Jungle Room cafeteria to old Museum exhibits. You can
even have your photo taken with one or more of our "guest-friendly" Zoo
residents.
Your ticket includes:
a
self-guided tour booklet with little-known facts, architectural
highlights and history about each of the featured Zoo buildings
the chance to talk with Zoo staff to get inside information about the past, present and future of your Toledo Zoo
your
favorite Zoo foods, all with a fun "foodie" twist (look for lamburger
sliders, spicy caramel corn, fresh-cut French fries with extra toppings,
and the gourmet hot dog bar!)
Zoo members save $10 on each ticket, paying $65 per person for this nostalgic evening. Non-members pay $75 per person.
