AkronOhioMoms and their kids will have an up-close and personal animal encounter with an Akron Zoo Education Specialist. Then, we’ll head on over to the Train for a FREE Train Ride!

My kids and I will enjoy some yummy food at the cafe at noon, join us if you’d like! Don’t forget to stop by the Capybara Exhibit to sneak a peak at the 2 baby capybaras!
