Fun Photo Friday: What Could Be Cuter?

Carina and Cassiopeia

What could be cuter than two baby Lemurs? I am not sure, but I can tell you what is better than seeing an adorable picture of the two newcomers to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo....seeing them in person!

Why not bring along the whole family on June 25th and get to the Zoo early for our Race for Kids & Wellness Festival. Animals are always most active early in the morning, so you will have the unique opportunity of seeing the Zoo's many lively animals before the park opens to the public. And in the meantime, you will be getting a healthy start to your Saturday!

Race for Kids & Wellness Festival begins at 7:30am on June 25th at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. All proceeds benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland...meaning it will be fun and charitable all at the same time!

Races include a 5k run and 1 mile walk/fun and there is a family registration rate for the 1 mile! And the best part...besides the baby Lemurs, of course... DISCOUNTED ZOO ADMISSION IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR REGISTRATION FEE!

Fun Photo Friday: Shenga

Shenga, One of Cleveland Metropark Zoo's Newest Elephants

What does Shenga and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland have in common?

We will both have a debut at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! On May 5, Cleveland Zoo will officially open the Elephant Crossing Exhibit! A project years in the making, the new exhibit will give the resident elephants a beautiful and expansive new home!

And on June 25th, Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland will host our Race for Kids & Wellness Festival for the first time at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! We will have fun activities for the whole family including a scavenger hunt for the kids, health-related vendors for the adults, delicious food, fun music, arts & crafts, a balloon clown and MUCH, MUCH MORE! After completing the 5k or 1 mile course, you can head over to Elephant Crossing and meet Shenga and the other elephants that call Cleveland home.

A discounted zoo admission is included in the registration fee! Family registration rates are available for the 1 mile course, so everyone can get out and enjoy a Saturday at the Zoo.

Don't wait! Register for the race today at https://bgccleveland.myetap.org/raceforkids/!
