Holiday Magic Cart Tours

Get into the holiday spirit with a holiday magic cart tour at the Zoo!

The most magical ride of the season starts right here at the Zoo!

 Bring your own warm beverage and snuggle under a blanket while enjoying a 90-minute cart tour through the Zoo, led by our Zoo Naturalists. There are a total of 10 seats available per time slot (2 carts with 5 seats each). If there are not enough spaces for your party remaining, you will need to select another date or time. If we have an uneven split amongst the carts, groups may need to be split between 2 carts. Carts ride through the zoo together, so you will not be split for the entirety of the tour.

Help us keep our city clean!
It’s time to roll up our sleeves, Rochester! On Saturday, September 27, from 9 AM to 12 PM, we’re meeting at Seth Green Park for the annual Roc the Riverway Cleanup. This small and often forgotten park leads right down to the Lower Falls, and it could use our help! Together, we’ll collect and sort trash, keeping plastic and other waste out of the Genesee River. Tools, bags, and gloves are provided, so just bring water, friends, and be sure to dress for the weather!
