COHANZICK ZOO TO
HOLD “BOO AT THE ZOO” OCTOBER 19TH FROM 11A - 2P
As we and head into
autumn, we’re entering into what is for many their favorite time of year. Children
head back to school, stores put out their fall decorations, the leaves on the
trees start to change hinting at the cooler temperatures to come, and the
Bridgeton Recreation Department holds its annual “Boo at the Zoo” event at the
Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton City Park.
This year’s event will
take place on Saturday, October 20th from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Cohanzick
Zoo. In the full spirit of Halloween, children under 12 years of age are
encouraged to show off their costumes as they enjoy the animals and collect treats.
In addition to treats, children will also be able to make free crafts for parents
or grandparents to admire and enjoy a number of other activities as well. Admission
is $1.00 per person and all treats and crafts are while supplies last.
The Cohanzick Zoo, which
opened in 1934, is located at 45 Mayor Aitken Drive in Bridgeton City Park and
is one of New Jersey’s oldest zoos with over 100 animals representing over 45
species in multiple exhibits including Bengal tigers Mahesha and Rishi who
celebrated their third birthday on September 30th.
