MARYLAND ZOO IN BALTIMORE

WHAT: Animal Enrichment Weekend - a Kick-off of National Zookeepers Week!

WHERE: The Maryland Zoo, in Baltimore, held throughout various locations at the Zoo.

DATE & TIME: Saturday and Sunday, July 19 & 20. Activities take place from 10-4 pm. At 10.30 a.m. the day will start on Saturday when Sampson the baby elephant will partake in some watermelon munching, to celebrate his 4 month birthday

Kids can also stop by a special station where they can use non-toxic markers and crayons to decorate paper bags to be used as enrichment for the animals. Keepers will then fill those bags with items such as food, straw, or toys, and give them to the animals at a later date. Guests can also visit a station where several enrichment items, including boomer balls and puzzle feeders, will be on display.
