ROAM THE ZOO— A HOME FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES When you visit Roger Williams Park Zoo, you are helping to bolster the conservation work that the zoo staff performs daily trying to save and protect animals around the world. A visit with African elephants and Masai giraffes in the Savanna exhibit, a walk through the Himalayan Trek to see moon bears, snow leopards and red pandas or a stop in the World of Adaptations with the river otters and binturong means you and your family are learning about the plight of species from all corners of the Earth. Step into the Faces of the Rainforest exhibit and experience a tropical paradise right here in Rhode Island with beautiful macaws, a giant anteater, a variety of primates( including howler and titi monkeys), interesting amphibians and intriguing reptiles. Also take advantage of the zoo’ s Wild Bites with the Animals program, which offers opportunities for behind-the-scenes animal encounters.
EXPLORE AND SOAR At the Explore and Soar area, enjoy a family-friendly excursion aboard a train through the woodlands. Then, fly 115 feet in the air on the Soaring Eagle Zip Ride and get a breathtaking bird’ s eye view of the zoo and the Providence cityscape.
SUMMER HAPPENINGS The zoo is jam-packed with fun events throughout the summer. Tiny explorers get to walk alongside supersized insects at the immersive A Bug’ s World experience( occurring through Aug. 9) and learn how these small creatures play a huge role in our environment. The twelfth season of Food Truck Friday, taking place through Sept. 25, hosts a variety of the best local food trucks at Carousel Village. Attendance to the Zoobilee! Party with a Purpose on June 27 allows guests to indulge in delicious bites from local restaurants and tasty cocktails; sample hundreds of beers and other beverages at the Brew at the Zoo, occurring Aug. 29. Proceeds from the two twentyone plus events benefit the zoo’ s conservation efforts. rwpzoo. org
