Nandi plays in the rain as her second birthday approaches.

Nandi’s bubble-themed birthday celebration runs from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 20.

The fun starts with a bubble blizzard in the Tanzania birthday zone followed by even more bubbles for Nandi’s animal friends throughout the zoo.

At 9 a.m., children will receive an elephant lollipop (while supplies last), free glitter tattoos, and elephant activities. Zoo member children will get their own bottle of bubbles to join in the fun. Party activities are free with paid or member admission.

Nandi’s keepers will be giving Nandi her favorite treats and presents. She loves to unwrap presents (or sit on them)! Guests get to talk to keepers to learn all the things she’s doing and how Nandi is helping wild elephants.

The Reid Park Zoo is at 3400 Zoo Court.

Admission is $10.50 for ages 15-61; $8.50 seniors ages 62+; $6.50 children ages 2-14; free for children up to age 1.
