Sunday, May 6, 2018, is Sporting KC Day at the Kansas City Zoo. This event is FREE with paid zoo admission. Anyone wearing Sporting KC apparel will get $3 off the price of regular admission.
Sporting KC Players Diego Rubio and Tim Melia will take on the Zoo’s dynamic defender, Delilah, the sea lion. They’ll play a little one-on-one during the Sea Lion Splash at 10 a.m. and then sign autographs for Zoo guests from 10:30 to 11:30 am.
Sporting KC players Graham Zusi and Johnny Russell will paint alongside the Zoo’s “elephant Picassos.” Find out who will be the best artist at the elephant exhibit at noon. Zusi and Russell will also sign autographs from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.
Do you have what it takes to play for Sporting KC. Try out your skills on the Sporting KC Futsal Court located behind the sea lion pool from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.
The animals will be getting in the Sporting KC spirit, as well. Animals in Tropics, Helzberg Penguin Plaza, and Discovery Barn will be enjoying special enrichment items like t-shirts, cups, and more donated to them by Sporting KC. The orangutans will be “suiting up” in Sporting KC attire. Berlin will show her team spirit with one of her favorite enrichment items during the 11 am Zookeeper chat.
