COAL VALLEY, ILLINOIS (May 29, 2023) — As we celebrate the longest day of the year on World Giraffe Day, enjoy a tall order of breakfast, then go on a tour to meet our tall boy Kenya at the Giraffe barn. Find out how zookeepers care for this endangered species as we work to stave off what is being considered a “silent extinction.” It’s time to make some noise to help protect this lofty animal.
