Show Your Love For Como Park Zoo

Staycations At Home
I Love Como Park
Como Park Zoo Fundraiser

Como Park Zoo in St. Paul is having a special event this weekend, April 24-25th, to help raise funds for the new Polar Bear Odyssey, a state-of-the-art polar bear habitat.  There will be games and story-telling for kids, and you can get a tree seedling to celebrate Earth Day.

I’ve been a fan of Como Park Zoon since Bob Durr used to go on the Casey Jones TV shows and bring all sorts of animals.  Now’s the time to help support this community resource, and have a great family staycation to kick off Spring.
