There's a chill in the air, so you know what that means...

Starting tomorrow, October 6th, we will transition into our fall operating hours: Monday–Friday: 10 AM – 2 PM, Saturday & Sunday: 10 AM – 4 PM.

As always, you are permitted to stay one hour after final admission. As a reminder, ZooMontana is open year-round! While the weather is starting to cool down, the animals are loving the relief from the heat🐻

We have some more exciting animal news to share with you🐺

We’re thrilled to welcome a brand-new face to ZooMontana. Meet Thor, the newest gray wolf addition!

Thor has joined us as a companion for our resident wolf, Onyx. The best part: they’re not just companions, they’re full brothers and littermates!

Currently, Thor is in his mandatory quarantine period as we make sure he’s healthy and settling in. You may spot him from the path, but we kindly ask visitors to help us create a quiet, safe, and welcoming space for him as he adjusts.

We can’t wait to see Onyx and Thor reunited—and we’re so excited to share this special journey with you!🤩

📸Thank you to Animal Curator Travis and to Lead North America Caregiver Krystal for these photos of Thor!

Boo at the Zoo is back on October 18th — and we need your help to make it our biggest one yet👻

From now through October 10th, bring in 2 pounds of candy and receive one free Zoo admission or a guest pass to use on a future visit.

While 2 lbs. is the minimum to earn a pass, any and all candy donations are greatly appreciated!

For the safety of our guests, candy must be individually wrapped and in unopened bags.

A huge thank you to this year’s generous sponsors — Lynnrich Seamless Steel Siding, Windows & Doors and Sibanye-Stillwater — for helping make one of our most beloved events possible!

Stretching those muscles for International Red Panda Day!🤩

Join us at the Zoo this Saturday for a celebration dedicated to our favorite fluffy, bamboo-loving friends. And this year, we have even more to cheer about — two brand-new red panda cubs! 🥰

Meet our team at the Red Panda Habitat all day long to learn fun panda facts, take part in activities, and share your name suggestions for the cubs (in-person only!).

Please note: Pavitra and her little ones may or may not be visible on Saturday, but Pabu will be located in the front habitat all day long!

As we reflect on a productive summer season, we would like to give a special shoutout to all of our interns and seasonal staff who helped make the busy season possible!

As many northerners can relate, the summer season is project season! With many projects to complete and a limited weather window, our summer staff is instrumental in helping our staff accomplish their goals. This is a perfect example of an enrichment project created by this summer's Wetlands intern, McKennah.

McKennah wanted to build something that would both challenge and entertain Uki the badger. As McKennah put it, Uki is sometimes "too good" at her enrichment. This seesaw allowed McKennah to replicate obstacles Uki may face in the wild, as well as something that could be used as a training tool in the future. Look at that confident badger!

Happy International Vulture Awareness Day!

Vultures get a bad wrap, but the truth is, this world would be pretty smelly without them! As nature's clean-up crew, vultures do an amazing job preventing the spread of disease. See a vulture today? Make sure you tell them thanks! 🥰
