August 2: Camperoo At The Zoo
CAMP OVERNIGHT AT THE ZOO
Oregon Zoo
If you've ever wanted to awaken to the sounds of Africa, but can't afford the airfare, we have an opportunity for you. Family Camperoo is your chance to spend the night on safari without leaving Oregon.
Bring a sleeping bag or bedroll and a small tent for a special family outdoor overnight. A BBQ dinner begins the evening as you set up camp on the concert lawn. The evening’s schedule includes games, crafts, snacks and special night tours. Songs and stories around the campfire complete the evening program. Begin your morning with a continental picnic breakfast followed by a personal encounter with the birds from the zoo’s Discover Birds! show.
Family Camperoo is designed for families. Cost for the safari experience is $45 for zoo members and $53 for non-members. Pre-registration is required and is available online at this link- Pre-registration Form. Call (503) 220-2781 to obtain additional information or for questions. Do not call to register as no phone registrations are accepted.
August 2 & 3: “The Best Start Under the Sun”
Mobile Exhibit at the Oregon Zoo
Want to find out how to kick-start the day? Visit “The Best Start Under the Sun” exhibit. Complete with interactive games and activities, people of all ages will enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience while learning about the benefits of Florida orange juice. And it’s free!
Started by the Florida Orange Growers, the innovative mobile exhibit has traveled all across the country for the past two years educating people about how drinking one glass of orange juice provides vitamins, nutrients and energy needed to jump start the day.
From tips on how to minimize “A.M. Mayhem” in the kitchen and nutritional breakfast recipes to orange-themed games such as the “Orange Escape” slide and the Slam Dunk “Oranges”, the exhibit caters to needs of both adults and children. And if you get tired from all the fun, sit back in the Family Zone area with a fresh glass of orange juice while reading familiar classics.
The exhibit will be in the lower parking lot.
