"Well, this is our 20th annual ice cream safari here at the zoo. We do it every July, and it's a chance for people to come in here and see the animals and try a free ice cream. we have 14 flavors of ice cream this year. You have seven different stations. Eight, if you count our topping station, where people need to put even more shimmer on it you know, it's just a very nice thing to do for the community. You know, people come in here, you know, it's a pretty hot day today, but the animals are start coming out because it's cooler now anymore. So just have a great evening to be entertained," said Zoo Director, Alan Baker.
