Coal Valley, IL - January 30, 2015 - Niabi Zoo announced today that it will be holding an all-new event on Friday, February 13. The event is titled Romance at the Zoo and will feature dinner, drinks, and an entertaining look at romance in the animal kingdom, as presented by Niabi Zoo's Curator of Conservation & Education, Jill Roderick. This Valentine's Day-related event is open to adults ages 21 and over and reservations are required.
Romance at the Zoo will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn more about the "wilder" side of the animal kingdom, such as how porcupines actually succeed in mating despite being covered in needle-sharp quills or the incredibly high number of times that lions get together during breeding season. "We are excited to provide adults with a new and fun way to experience Niabi Zoo," said Zoo Director Marc Heinzman, "while also teaching them about the amazing life of animals from around the world." Heinzman also added that Romance at the Zoo is sure to be the most unique Valentine's Day date in the Quad Cities.
Tickets for the event are $40 per person or $75 per couple. A full dinner and one free drink are included with the ticket price. Additional drinks will be available from a cash bar. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the Zoo at 309-799-3482 ext. 222. Romance at the Zoo takes place from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
