Is there a discount for military members at this event? Also, will it be toddler friendly (not too scary)?

I am very excited about the new format of the zoo's website and especially this blog. I have a 6year old future zookeeper and we are looking forward to going to the Boo at the Zoo this weekend!

Is the sky ride open today (Sunday)? If yes, is the first 5 post free ride still on?

We enjoy the CM zoo very much. I think it would be exciting to see the zoo and the view from the Mountaineer Sky Ride.

I'm wondering if the sky ride is a good idea for elderly people. Also, will the temperature change drastically?

Thanks!

Hello home Hygiene Organic!

The Mountaineer Sky Ride offers a relaxing, chair lift style ride with spectacular views. It is a wonderful experience for any rider. It is generally colder up on the mountain and at the Zoo than in town so dress warmly for your Zoo visit. The temperature may change a few degrees, but riders will not experience a drastic change in temp from the base to the summit. The summit is often protected from the wind, so sometimes it is warmer there than on Zoo grounds. Enjoy your visit!
