Zippity Zoo Fest

My, oh my, what a wonderful day—celebrate BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo at its annual spring festival. The zoo opened on Easter Day in 1970, and it’s been helping families go wild ever since. Zippity Zoo Fest will feature an “EdZooCation” station where guests can learn about topics like animal conservation and pollination. Keepers will stationed throughout the zoo, birthday cake in hand. If you’re lucky, you might even get to celebrate with some of the animals, who will get their own special birthday treat. 9:30 am–5:30 pm. Regular admission applies. brzoo.org.
