The Force will be strong on Sunday, May 10, when members of the New England Garrison and Alderaan Base dressed as characters from the Star Wars films roam the Zoo! Guests are encouraged to wear their own Star Wars attire and to take photos with the costumed characters. And, in celebration of Mother’s Day, Moms will enjoy free admission!
 
Learn about how animal adaptations and behaviors in our galaxy relate to the creatures from the films with scavenger hunts and other activities. The animals will also join in on the fun as they enjoy treats and special Star Wars themed enrichment items throughout the day.
 
The costumed characters are local members of the 501st Legion and the Rebel Legion; groups of Star Wars fans who, with the use of their movie-quality costumes, contribute to the local community through charity and volunteer work.
 

Franklin Park and Stone Zoos are open 10am-5pm Monday-Friday and 10am-6pm Saturday and Sunday.
