The Zoo’s Character Ambassadors, presented by Donatos, welcome you to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium!
For over 10 years, Patriot Eagle, Sydnee Koala and the gang have been adding to the fun here at the Zoo and around town. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, be sure to say hi when you see them on your next visit.
Our characters make appearances at the Zoo on weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day and during many special events at the Zoo all year round. They also make several off-site appearances around the community, maybe even in your neighborhood. You can see some of your favorite characters at the Zoo’s special events below, where they’ll be making appearances and possibly taking part in one of their popular Character Caravans (appearance activities may vary per event).
Stop by to say hello, give Patriot Eagle a high-five and collect the characters’ very own trading cards, which feature information on the character, their cousins in the wild and details on how to earn a special deal from Donatos, just for being their pal! CLICK HERE to learn more.
Don’t miss these exciting events with true character in 2013. Mark your calendars now!
