It’s a Cool Zoo Summer at the Staten Island Zoo. Thanks to Con-Edison, children can enjoy fun activities and events now through the end of August. They’ll explore, learn, participate, and of course, beat the summer heat.
On June 14 is the Mighty Rainforest event, where children can explore the most bio-diverse place on Earth, the rainforest. Did you know that the rainforest is the lungs of the planet? It produces more than 40 percent of the world’s oxygen.
Children can also visit with a rainforest denizen — the sloth — do an eco-craft, and discover ways they can help the rainforest.
The Mighty Rainforest on June 14 from noon to 3 pm. Free with zoo admission.
