Coal Valley, IL - July 16, 2012 - Niabi Zoo has announced that it will be open for its summer hours on Thursdays for the next several weeks.
The zoo will be open until 8:00 pm every Thursday throughout the months of July and August. Gates will still open at 9:30 am as usual, but the late closing time will allow zoo visitors a chance to attend the zoo in somewhat cooler temperatures.
"Coming to the zoo in the evening is a great opportunity to enjoy our animals in cooler temperatures and with smaller crowds," says Zoo Director Marc Heinzman. "It's a much more relaxed atmosphere than you might have on a visit during the day, and the animals are usually more active."
While the zoo is open until 8:00 pm on Thursdays, the last admission will be at 7:30 pm. All other days of the week, Niabi Zoo will be open 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.
