Fall Festival

Celebrate all things fall with the Friends of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo on October 4-5 from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m.! This weekend-long festival brings together the Central New York area’s fall favorites, featuring creature chats, local vendors, autumnal activities, games (including corn hole, pumpkin bowling, ring toss, and Jenga), and, of course, fabulous foliage photo opportunities with selfie stations throughout the zoo grounds. The event is FREE for members or included with zoo admission.
