Amarillo Zoo will be kicking off the Fourth of July festivities with an American celebration! Come join us Saturday, June 30th for our very own "Red, White and Zoo!. It will be a day of fun-filled activities, live music and patriotic animal enrichments - including a self-guided tour in search of red, white and blue animals, a hula hoop and old fashioned pie eating contest and an endless hot dog buffet (additional fee applies).  Active members of the US military, Police, Fire or EMS will get free admission as our way of saying thanks for their service to our country and community (ID required).
