about June's Coffee With the Curator

"From the first animal housed at Sedgwick County Zoo, a cow, to today where more than 3,000 animals call the Zoo home, your Zoo has been a leader in education and conservation issues.  At this presentation you will discover what has been keeping the Zoo busy over the last year and exciting plans for the future.  There is adventure in our nature!"
