Watertown – This Lunar New Year represents the Year of the Snake. At Zoo New York, all animals are celebrated, but this is an opportunity to shine a special light on our slithery serpents.

Zoo New York is pleased  offer a grand finale to celebrations by hosting Lunar New Year February 15th and 16th from 11- 3.

Guests will have the opportunity to interact with several of our animals, including the snakes, with the help of zookeepers. There will also be traditional Chinese crafts, candies, and games. Guests can also participate in scavenger hunts and photo ops. Admission is $12 for adults, $9 for children, and members are free.
