Marvel Super Hero Wolverine headlines
Zoo’s May 31 Health & Safety Safari
 

A Super Hero with animal-keen senses will visit the Louisville Zoo on May 31 as part of Becker Law Office’s Health & Safety Safari. Zoo visitors can meet Wolverine, the Marvel character who is currently in a new movie on the big screen, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Zoo Vision building. So don’t forget your camera!

Kids and families will also be able to learn about human and animal safety at various stations throughout the Zoo which will feature organizations like the American Red Cross and St. Joseph Children’s Home.

New York Life Insurance Company will host a Safety ID station for kids and give away free safety ID kits to families. Animal Gambill’s Critter Crusade, a non-profit organization whose goal is to mutually enhance the lives of animals and their human companions, will be holding fun activities for kids. Wolter Chiropractic will be on hand conducting MyoVision tension tests, and the S.N.I.P. Clinic, a low-cost spay and neuter center for owned pets, will be handing out clinic information.

Visitors who pick up a special “passport” bookmark at the Becker Law Office booth will be able to have it specially stamped at the various stations throughout the Zoo. Once all stamps are collected, the bookmark can be shown at the Zoo exit for a special giveaway.

Health and Safety Safari, presented by Becker Law Office, is also made possible by support from E.ON U.S., New York Life Insurance Company and Wolter Chiropractic.
