Festival for World Giraffe Day at Montgomery Zoo
Montgomery Zoo offers unique giraffe experience while raising funds to help giraffes in the wild.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Giraffe Conservation Foundation celebrates World Giraffe Day at the Montgomery Zoo. The Montgomery Zoo and Mann Wildlife Museum both offer giraffe events and exhibits this Saturday, June 17, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
World Giraffe Day is an initiative to raise awareness about giraffes and celebrate them. It also serves as an educational tool. You can support the giraffes by making a donation to support research and conservation efforts or by going to the festival. Contributions benefit both giraffes in Africa and those at the Montgomery Zoo.
A variety of activities are on deck, including thumb-print of giraffes, giraffe feedings, and giving trees. The giraffe feeding is a major draw to many, and has a participation fee of $4, with $2 of that donated to conservation.
