Tour 3: Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park

On Friday, June 6th, we have set up tours for our attendees.   Each tour is paid for when you arrive at the tour site, and starts at 2:30pm. 
~~~
Charge per person payable at tour site:  $6.50

Tour 3 is to the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park.

"Celebrating 139 years, the zoo officially opened in 1875 and is the fifth oldest zoological institution in the country. Winding wooded paths and naturalistic exhibits house over 100 different species with a strong emphasis on conservation education. Tours include discussion of interesting natural history facts such as habitat, diet, and survival strategies, as well as specific personal information on the animals here at the Binghamton Zoo."

The recent birth of  3 otter pups has prompted the zoo to hold a naming contest. Submit a suggestion,  and maybe you will sign up for Tour 3 when you register for NYAC 2014!!
