What’s new at GreenFest 2024?

Come early and enjoy a “poo-sitively” exciting prize! The first 250 groups to enter the Zoo on each event date will take home a 2-gallon bucket of Zoo Poo – compost created from waste collected at the Zoo, including manure, bedding and food waste! This compost with a cause is perfect to grow your garden or plant paradise. Vouchers are claimed at the entrance and redeemed upon exiting the Zoo*.

*One voucher per household.
