Final Farewell at Bucks County Zoo
This weekend is the last to visit Bucks County Zoo and say goodbye to the animals.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday, families can participate in the zoo's final farewell and enjoy the animals in a 5,000-square-foot indoor exhibit that houses aardvarks, crocodiles, alligators, ring-tailed lemurs, a wallaby, tropical birds, primates, pythons, and lizards.
The Bucks County Zoo was founded in 2008 by zookeeper and wildlife educator "Jungle Joe" Fortunato, who saw a need to provide a professional wildlife-education service that was also entertaining. After Sunday, the zoo will close to focus on fund-raising to build a permanent home.
