WHAT:
Salt River Project (SRP) brings a refreshing experience to the Phoenix Zoo animals on Friday, June 12, with more than ten tons of snow spread throughout various animal habitats. Guests will be able to stroll through the Zoo’s trails and encounter animals from meerkats and birds to African lions to orangutans, experiencing the snow or savoring cool treats.
Zoo guests can also cool off with free ice cream from Ice Cream Pedaler between 6 and 11 a.m. at the Zoo entrance while supplies last. The SRP team will also be onsite to offer energy efficiency tips and information.
Also, SRP customers can receive a $10 discount on Zoo admission on Fridays and Saturdays until September 30 via this discount link.
