Canada Day at the Edmonton Valley Zoo!
Oh Canada! “Get Closer” as the Zoo celebrates not only Canada’s birthday, but the Zoo’s and Lucy’s as well! At the big birthday bash, take part in our scavenger hunt, learn to paint like Lucy, enjoy live music and learn about all of our Canadian animal friends! Don’t forget to sing Happy Birthday to Lucy and enjoy a mini cupcake!
Last but not least, make sure you help us sing “Happy Birthday” to Lucy the elephant! We will be celebrating her 39th birthday by surprising her with a massive maple flavoured red & white popsicle! What a cool way to cap off Canada Day at the Edmonton Valley Zoo!
