Honoring U.S. military members & veterans
Red, white, and blue enrichment
Celebrate Military Appreciation Month with a wild weekend! Watch our animals enjoy themed enrichment and learn more during special keeper chats with the gray wolf, bald eagles, and grizzly bears. It’s a fun, engaging way to connect with wildlife while seeing how enrichment supports natural behaviors and keeps animals active and curious.
A community celebration of service
Military Appreciation Month is a chance to pause and say thank you. We’re proud to honor U.S. military members and veterans, and to welcome our community together for a day in nature filled with gratitude, connection, and red, white, and blue spirit across the park.
