MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Take a walk on the wild side with Montana State University Billings with a Day at ZooMontana on March 29.

The event is free and open to the public and will feature interactive activities and booths for zoo-goers, including opportunities to get up-close and personal with some of the zoo’s furry and feathered inhabitants and learn more about them from their keepers.
The event, sponsored by Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³», Alumni Relations, the Student Activities Board and Associated Students, is designed as a community appreciation day as well as an educational experience.
“This is an opportunity for MSU Billings to show the Billings and surrounding communities how much their support means to us,� Director of Alumni Relations Sarah Brockel said. “We’ll have amazing exhibits and fun activities for all ages.�
Faculty, staff, students and alumni will host booths with various activities including a robotics display presented by Extended Campus, a build your own bookmark station with the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» Library and a prize wheel sponsored by Alumni Relations.
Zoo-goers who complete a passport activity—which entails collecting stamps at each of the booths—will be entered into a drawing for a prize package that includes an Apple IPad Mini.
Check out the beaver brothers Huck and Finn and come face-to-face with Montana’s kings of the wilderness, grizzly bears Bruno and Ozzy, while learning about Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» degree programs, summer campus camps and events, swim lessons, library services and much more.
The MSU Billings Day at the Zoo runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hotdogs and hamburgers will be available for purchase.
ZooMontana is located at 2100 S. Shiloh Rd., just off the Zoo Drive Exit of Interstate 90.
