It's an “Animal Valentine Exchange” at the Utica Zoo this weekend.
The Utica Zoo has teamed up with the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester for an Animal Valentine Exchange. Bring the kids to the Utica Zoo Wildlife Hall on February 16 and 17 and make a Valentine to send. Children from Seneca Park will be creating Valentines to send to our Utica animals too! You can also share in making special enrichment items including a Valentine Chain!
