Kindness Safari

About The Kindness Safari at The Woodland Park Zoo

On Saturday, May 16, local team members from KIND and zulily will be hosting a kindness safari for families at Woodland Park Zoo (and in 18 other cities across the country) which will feature:

  • A scavenger hunt booklet with interactive kindness activities inspired by animals (e.g. see a bear; give somebody in your family a bear hug).
  • A flower wall in which attendees can take a flower upon leaving and pass on to someone else.
  • A take-home kindness kit that comes in a complimentary lunch tote that kids can color on.

Come join the fun to learn how easy and fun doing kind acts every day can be!

Fees: Free with zoo admission.
