Pine Grove Zoo Future Little Falls, Minnesota

NEW! SAVE!
With Pine Grove Zoo
Punch Cards

New this season is the Pine Grove Zoo Punch Card. The Punch Card can save on admission and give you the freedom to bring whomever you want to when visiting the zoo. Buy a Punch Card for $60, which gives you 30 admissions (20 admissions at regular price + 10 free admissions). Plus you can bring out-of –town visitors, neighborhood children, day care children, relatives, etc! The Punch Card will be punched for each person that comes through on your card ( 5 people = 5 punches on the card ). Save on your next visit to PGZ. Ask for the PGZ Punch Card at the Admission Building as you enter.

Lunch Wagon is New

Don’t let hunger interrupt your visit to our zoo. Eric Johnson will have a great selection of food at the new lunch wagon that he will be bringing to Pine Grove Zoo. The lunch wagon will be available Friday through Sunday plus at all events and holidays during the summer months. Also, Eric is offering bag lunches for school tours that pre-order. If you need information on this, call 616-5595. There will be a naming contest for the lunch wagon. Check at the Admissions Building for more information.

Reciprocity List
For Discounts at Other Zoos
Now Available

If you are a member of Pine Grove Zoo you will now be able to use your membership card in a new way.

Check out the new section entitled Zoo Reciprocity List. Any time you travel you should check the list as it will continue to be updated throughout the year. To use your membership card at other zoos for the discount, it must be accompanied by a picture ID.

New Bear Cubs Coming

You loved them last season! They brought the New Bear Exhibit to life. Bear Country USA once again will be sending bear cubs to Pine Grove Zoo. We will update you on their arrival, which will be sometime towards the beginning of the 2008 season. The 2008 season starts in Mid-April. Don’t miss out on the fun that these cubs can provide.

“Pine Grove Zoo is a “Gem”

Have you ever used a AAA Tourbook when you travel? You might have noticed the gem symbol . It also has the word “gem” written beside it and notes when a tour site is found to be more than you would expect. In talking with a man from AAA who was getting updated information from Pine Grove Zoo to put in the 2008 tour books, I asked him, how do you get this symbol and “gem” by your name in the tour book because Pine Grove Zoo and Park is a pure “gem”. Visitors from across Minnesota, the United States, and yes, even, the world have said how impressed they were with the warm and friendly staff, being able to get up close to the animals, the cleanliness and how well kept the zoo is, the beautiful landscaping and natural atmosphere, and its healthy and content looking animals. They are so surprised to find a zoo of this caliber in Little Falls, Minnesota. That has to be “gem” quality plus there is a beautiful park and playground adjacent to the Zoo, which is open to the public. The admission fee for the Zoo in 2008 will be $3.00 for 4 years of age and older. (Admission is charge from Mid-April to Mid-October. Check the upper left hand corner for specifics on hours.) That is a bargain for a true “gem” of a place to visit. Keep us in mind when you are traveling through Minnesota.

Improvements Impress Visitors

The $400,000 that the Minnesota Legislature awarded Pine Grove Zoo has been doing just what it was meant to do. The Main Building is completed and houses: Veterinary Care Area, Offices, Employee Area, Food Prep for the Animals and the Garage/Storage Area. Also, finished just in time for the beginning of our summer season is the Public Restrooms inside the Zoo.

The pathways have been paved and landscaping the lookout areas will be next. The Zoo now has its secondary fence back up so it is safe for our visitors to walk around on their own. It has certainly changed the look of our Zoo! We are proud to invite you to come and spend the day. Our visitors have been impressed with the improvements that have been made. The friendly staff and volunteers have been hearing many positive comments and the guest book has been giving us great feedback. Come and check us out!
