Introducing 'Wild Wednesdays'

If you've ever wanted to see the sunset over the savanna, the only way you could do that was by booking a plane to Africa, which I doubt you'd be doing anytime soon.

Thankfully, now you'll be able to thanks to "Wild Wednesdays". Included in the cost of the normal zoo admission, any attendant to the Zoo every Wednesday throughout July can stay until 8 pm and enjoy live performances from artists like American Idol Finalist Matt Giraud, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, and more. Entertainment starts at 5:00 p.m. and goes to 7:30 p.m.

It has been an exciting summer for Binder Park Zoo. At the beginning of May, the Zoo welcomed a set of new red pandas, Justin and Garnet, to their exhibit. They've also created a new webcam live feed of the Red Panda exhibit that you can view here if you're like me and enjoy falling asleep to zoo exhibit livestreams.

Binder Park Zoo is located in Battle Creek at 7400 Division Drive Battle Creek, MI 49014, open 7 days a week until October 27.
