10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Free for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3; free with general admission.

Entertain your inner wild thing in the wacky world of animal enrichment!

Have you ever wanted to paint like an elephant, scavenge like a vulture, or forage like a gorilla? Well now you can!

Join us at Zoo Atlanta for Play the Animal Way, a favorite event among guests, animals, and the rest of the Zoo team.

Play the Animal Way is a Zoo-wide showcase of the creative talents behind the novel objects, smells, sounds and activities that keep animals active, interested and engaged year-round. Watch your favorite Zoo animals investigate the most colorful treats of the year, sniff out their favorite scents, and solve challenging puzzles. Human guests can try a few hands-on activities at stations throughout the Zoo.

Stations can be found on Tembo Trek, the Takamenda Gorilla Deck, and along the Main Spine. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
