National Zoo Awareness Day is on August 31. Do you love zoos and wildlife as much as we do? Zoos are perfect places to bond over a shared love for animals. Contrary to popular perception, they’re not just places for kids and families. We know we’ve been to many a zoo with friends or even on a date. Being around animals elevates any experience. We believe it can change life perspectives altogether. National Zoo Awareness Day in the U.K. celebrates zoos as spaces of learning and fun. When done right, zoos can probably save the world.
