Please note: On Wednesday April 24 at Franklin Park Zoo and Thursday, April 25 at Stone Zoo, volunteers, zoo employees and local emergency responders will take part in routine animal escape exercises. While the exercise is occurring, guests have the opportunity to participate in the evacuation portion, and may be asked to move to certain areas within the Zoo for a brief period of time (not to exceed 10 minutes). These exercises are an important part of our preparedness training, and we appreciate your participation and understanding. If you have any questions about what to expect, please don't hesitate to contact us at 617-989-2000 or info@zoonewengland.org.

Stone Zoo and Stoneham Ford Teaming Up to Raise $6,000

CaribbeancoastfilmstripHelp Stoneham Ford support Stone Zoo’s work to inspire and educate the community about the natural world. Stone Zoo and local Ford dealer Stoneham Ford are pairing up to raise money to support the completion of Stone Zoo’s new Caribbean Coast exhibit.

As part of Ford Motor Company's Drive 4 UR Community program, Stoneham Ford and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 for every test drive taken at the zoo on Saturday, April 28th between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. In conjunction with Ford Motor Company, Stoneham Ford will donate up to $6,000 to the Stone Zoo.

Caribbean Coast will feature a walk-through aviary with flamingos, Jamaican iguanas and macaws, as well as an exhibit for bush dogs. There will be interactive, hands-on opportunities, such as feeding flamingos and creating your own rhythms on native percussion instruments. Most importantly, guests will meet animals both majestic and rare, and learn about their role in their ecosystem.
