Earth Day at the Utica Zoo is the place to be for family fun and great food too!

On Sunday, April 21 from 11am-3 pm, the Utica Zoo will celebrate Earth Day by providing the community a place to learn and participate in Earth friendly conservation efforts. The mission of The Utica Zoo is to foster public understanding and appreciation of wildlife species and their ecosystems through education, conservation and recreation. To reinforce this mission, there will be crafts, chance animal encounters, activities and educational materials on how to take care of our planet.

 In addition, volunteers will be helping make the Zoo look beautiful for Spring! There will also be giveaways and activities for kids on conservation/recycling provided by the Herkimer Oneida Solid Waste Authority. Computer Connection of CNY will be offering free electronics recycling on site with data deconstruction also available ($4 charge) again this year. Bring in an electronic item to be recycled through Computer Connection of CNY and receive $1 off admission per family! 

 In addition to all the Earth Day festivities, the Utica Zoo also welcomes back Voss’ for the Summer season!

 Event festivities are rain or shine and included with regular zoo admission. The Zoo is open from
