10 Reasons Why You Should Enter to Win A Zoo Pass

  1. The dinos are back! The amazing Adventure Dinosaur exhibit is back until September 3rd 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $2.50 per person, after regular zoo admission… and if you win the zoo pass from Mount Royal Light then it’s $2.50, after FREE admission!
  2. Njeri, Kiume and Hubert are growing up! The three African lion cubs were born July 2011 and are growing fast, enter to win the zoo pass so you can see them before they’re like Simba and Nala at the end of The Lion King!
  3. Feed the Gentle Giants! At the Miller Brewing Company Giraffe Experience, visitors are able to feed the “gentle giants” every day of the week from a 6-foot high platform!
  4. Be cool with the polar bears! The 65,000-gallon freshwater pool is home to the polar bears in Milwaukee and includes three windows for the public to view the polar bears underwater.
  5. Ride the Choo-Choo! The train that runs through the zoo was my favorite as a kid! The Zoofari Express runs 10 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. May-October weather permitting. The 7-minute scenic route takes you through the meadows and woods of the Zoo.
  6. See kids pulling tractors! September 8th & 9th is Family Farm Weekend. “This weekend is devoted to the rich farming heritage of our state. The cornucopia of activity includes a children’s tractor-pull contest, cooking demonstrations and down-home entertainment.” Kids pulling tractors? What could be more hilarious!?
  7. Cheap souvenirs! You need one of those wax lions! Placed conveniently throughout the park are some very high-tech machines that create wax animal sculptures ($2.00) and turn Abe’s face into a flattened penny souvenir ($.50 + your penny).
  8. Hang out at Monkey Island! Watch the baboons pick through each others’ backs in the new outdoor public exhibit. Last year the bonobo group was introduced to its new environment; 500 feet of elevated mesh passageways displayed in the Zoo’s forest.
  9. Feast with the Beasts! Zoo a la carte is so delicious. Taste-test 25 area restaurants while you jam to music from local and national groups on the Zoo’s six stages. The Zoo is open extended hours for this festival, August 16-19.
  10. There’s so much to see! Besides all the animals I’ve already mentioned there’s so much more including sharks, leopards, octopus, alligators, penguins, rhinos, lemurs, pandas, otters, camels, goats, gazelle, sheep, elephants, sea lions, bats and flamingos.

June Drink of the Month: Light Royal Cranberry

LIGHT ROYAL CRANBERRY - June

LIGHT ROYAL CRANBERRY – June 2012

One of the winners of our Recipe Contest was Riley’s submission of Light Royal Cranberry. She pours 1-2 shots of Mount Royal Light over ice and adds cranberry juice to it. Her favorite brand of cranberry juice to use is Ocean Spray because it’s lighter on the calories but still has the same great taste. Riley says that this drink is delicious all times of the year but she particularly likes to drink it while laying by the pool in the summer. Enjoy! Maybe post of pictures of you and your friends drinking a Light Royal Cranberry by your pool on our Facebook page!
