Join us at your Hometown Hutchinson Zoo on Saturday, August 29th, for an exciting opportunity to learn about monarch butterflies and their incredible journey! Play our monarch migration game, enjoy story times facilitated by the Hutchinson Public Library, do butterfly crafts, and help us put tags on monarchs*!

Free for all ages to enjoy.
*Tagging monarchs is dependent on the presence of monarchs during the event! Although we expect to see them by August 29th, we cannot guarantee it.

From Keeper Chats to Animal Trainings & Feedings, there's always something exciting happening at the Hutchinson Zoo!
🐾Daily experiences vary, but most days include chats in Hidden Americas and feedings at the River Otter exhibit, as well as opportunities to experience bison shifting at Gateway to the Prairie.
💦And, of course, no summer visit is complete without a cool trip through Splash River and Nature Playscape!

❤️‍🩹 What a difference 18 days can make! This American Kestrel (rehab intake #26-1122) was found in a pile of tires on a very hot day earlier this month. The Kestrel is the smallest raptor species in the Americas, typically only 8-12 inches tall. While they may be tiny, they are incredibly mighty and known to catch prey larger than themselves.
Although he had been orphaned and suffering from heat exhaustion upon intake, he has now made a fantastic recovery. Since he is almost full-grown, we’re one step closer to our goal of release - and keeping wildlife wild!
✨ This continues to be a record-breaking season at the Hutchinson Zoo's Wildcare Center, and we need your help to ensure we have more success stories like this one! Donate today to support this important work. www.hutchinsonzoo.org/35/Rehabilitation
