A standing ovation for one of our very own! 👏

Please join us in congratulating Elmwood Park Zoo Board Member Morgan Sliker-DeNicola on an incredible night at the Tony Awards, where she was recognized as a producer of the Broadway sensation Cats: The Jellicle Ball, which took home THREE Tony Awards!

Morgan has been a dedicated member of our Board of Directors since 2018, and we couldn't be happier to see her passion, creativity, and leadership recognized on one of Broadway's biggest nights.

Congratulations, Morgan, on this well-deserved achievement. Your entire Zoo family is proud to celebrate this moment with you!

Hank said, “nothing to see here” 🐢

In our Harmony Hideaway exhibit, our animals have choice and control over where they hang out! Hank chose the sink room near the exit; wish we could ask him what was so interesting, but he’s a tortoise 😆

Sundays call for coziness, and this next bobcat takes that very seriously!

"Elmwood Park Zoo is home to Moose, an 18-year-old bobcat. Unlike our other cats, Moose is able to have blankets, sheets and other fabric materials including a memory-foam dog bed. This is one of Moose's favorite things as it's an extra comfy bed. You will usually find Moose laying in his bed on exhibit especially when the sun is hitting just right."
