COAL VALLEY, ILLINOIS (July 25, 2023) — We appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm for our zoo, which allows us to bring you exclusive events like Members Only Night. However, we would like to let you know that due to the extreme weather forecast for Thursday, we have decided to cancel our Members Only Night event scheduled for that day.

The safety and well-being of our cherished members, our staff, and the animals in our care are paramount to us. At this time, we will still be open during the day on Thursday, and as a token of our gratitude, members who would like to visit the zoo during regular hours (Thursday) may enjoy complimentary train and carousel rides. All you have to do is present your membership card to our staff at the rides.

Also, we understand how much you were looking forward to the Members Only Night, so we are actively looking into rescheduling the event. Don’t worry; we will inform you about any new dates as soon as they are confirmed. Please watch your email and our official social media channels for further updates.

Once again, we thank you for your understanding and continued support.
