Animal of the Month: Barn Owl
Each month, the keepers at ZooAmerica choose one of our many incredible animal species to feature as the Animal of the Month! Special fun facts about the animal and a themed activity sheet are available for guests upon arrival at admissions as well as an entry form into a sweepstakes to win a themed plush or toy! At 1 PM each weekend day, there is a special activity at the habitat of that animal, allowing the keepers to educate about the amazing species and its importance to the natural world.
