Come learn about the plight of the rhinoceros as all nearly all 5 species are at risk of extinction. With 2 rhino subspecies going extinct in 2011 and 2018, the risk is real and immediate. Find out what we can do to help as Niabi’s Conservation Educators and volunteers will have hands-on activities throughout the day at the Conservation Station and around the Rhino habitat.

Activities: You can participate in a Rhino Horn Ring-toss, Bowling for Rhinos, make a Rhino Ears headband, and go on a scavenger hunt! Enter a drawing to win one of 2 prize baskets featuring a giant plush conservation rhino and a smaller plush conservation rhino with rhino snare wire art. You can also purchase snare wire art to support habitat restoration for species like rhinos in Zimbabwe.

What do sloths and snow leopards have in common? They are 2 of our most popular species at the Zoo and they happen to share the same week of recognition. Niabi’s Conservation Educators and volunteers will have hands-on activities throughout the day at the Conservation Station, Biodiversity Hall, and around the Snow Leopard habitat.

Slow down, relax and come hang with us in Biodiversity Hall to celebrate the Sloths. Then leap over to the Snow Leopard habitat to see if you can jump as far as a Snow Leopard and learn how Niabi is working with our conservation partner, Snow Leopard Trust, to help save this vulnerable species.

Visit the zoo for the last day of the 2025 season.
