Description: The Mill Mountain Zoo presents Breakfast with the Animals: Treats with Turtles and Tortoises on Saturday, August 20, 2016.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the world of testudines?!? Well, come have breakfast and discover all kinds of neat information about our turtles and tortoises. Children will be able to make an adorable egg carton turtle or tortoise to take home and then complete an activity sheet that will get the whole family exploring the zoo.

Join us at the Mill Mountain Zoo every 3rd Saturday, May-October for a unique opportunity to have breakfast with the animals. Guests will be treated to a light breakfast buffet and the chance to meet one of the zoo’s education outreach animals. This will be immediately followed by a special chat with zookeepers as they amaze our guests with more fun and educational facts about our animal residents. This intimate experience will allow zoo visitors to learn more about various animals’ diets, behavior and personalities. Following the chat, there will be a child-focused and parent-assisted project and activity sheet that will be designed to further foster excitement and knowledge about the featured animals.
