Feed the beasts!

One of the Staten Island Zoo’s most-popular programs is back.

On Aug. 14, you can get a close-up look at some of its animals during Breakfast with the Beasts.Join the zookeepers for a tour of their animal kitchen, help prepare some food for the critters and watch them eat. You can meet some animals up close and have a breakfast snack while you are there.

The zoo keepers won’t know until a few days leading up to the event which animals will be involved, so it’ll be a surprise!
