Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, the state's only zoo, invites families to celebrate Asian New Year on Saturday, February 17, 2018, from Noon to 3:00 p.m. This year marks the year of the Dog and the Zoo will celebrate the new Mane Wolf Cubs just born at the zoo! To the Chinese, the dog is almost the epitome of loyalty and honesty. If a dog comes into your house it symbolizes the coming of fortune. The invincible God Erland in Chinese legend used a loyal wolfhound to help him capture monsters.
At the Beardsley Zoo Year of the Dog festivities will feature activities for the entire family including a special children's parade around the Zoo grounds, storytime, crafts, and many more fun activities. Don't miss a visit to the colorful indoor Carousel. Here you will meet some of the Zoo's special lizard guests and be invited to partake in the festivities. Don't miss a peek at Chaigbai the Siberian Tiger that gave birth to two rare tiger cubs in November. The tiger cubs could be out by April or May! The snow date for this event is Feb. 24.
