Did you
know?
Casey interacts with Zoo visitors
to the main entrance. They also
made repairs on one of our storage
facilities this year.
"I think this is probably about as
big as we could have gone," said
member Nick Reid. "From building
wheelchair ramps every day to a
gorilla structure was a pretty good
stretch." The structure was dedi-
cated on October 19, 2017.
The gorillas are generally in the
indoor habitats during very chilly
days, but on milder days be sure
to look in the outdoor habitats —
you may just see them playing and
lounging on their new “research
station.”

The
Louisville
Zoo is
grateful for
the continued
partnership with the Greater
Louisville United Labor Picnic,
Inc. that spends Labor Day
with us here at your Zoo. Not
only do they facilitate annual
capital construction projects
like the gorilla structure, but
they are the longest and
largest contributors to Zoo
Kids, Inc., allowing the Zoo
to act as an intermediary
between 501(c)(3) non-profit
agencies or schools that serve
underprivileged youth in the
community and the individuals
and business leaders who are
willing to invest in their future.
To date, the Greater Louisville
United Labor Picnic, Inc. has
contributed over $100,000 to
Zoo Kids, Inc. and is the largest
donator to the program since
its launch in 2005.
