Help Franklin Park Zoo celebrate Little Joe's 19th birthday and the Super Bowl all weekend long!

On Friday, February 3, the Zoo kicks off a weekend of fun, starting with Little Joe, who will be predicting the Super Bowl champ! Born at the Bronx Zoo in New York, but raised here in Boston, Little Joe has ties to both the Giants and the Pats. We know his heart lies with his family at the Franklin Park Zoo, so we've got a feeling his pick will make us proud (and that the best team will prevail!). The Tropical Forest will have boxes with the team names on them and visitors are invited to come watch what box/team Little Joe will go towards first!

On Sunday, Februrary 5, join us in the Tropical Forest for Little Joe's football-themed birthday party. See the gorilla exhibit festively decorated and watch as Little Joe and all of the gorillas enjoy birthday treats made especially for them! Additionally, visitors can sign a giant birthday card for Little Joe and enjoy cake by White's Fine Cakes & Pastry (available on a first-come, first-serve basis).
