Member-Only Cheetah Preview

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 1:30 PM - 6:30 PM

You’re invited to a special, member-only preview of the fastest land mammals in the animal kingdom.

A pair of cheetahs will serve as Species Survival Plan ambassadors to the zoo in a new, temporary exhibit—and you can be the first to greet them!

Join us in welcoming the cheetahs to their new home and learn about the zoo’s role in helping endangered animals from all over the world.

After 4:00 p.m., enter at West Entrance only. Have your hand stamped as you enter the zoo, or show your membership card at the new exhibit. Half-priced guests may join members at the preview. Parking will be free after 3:30 p.m.

Questions? Please call 206.548.2400.
