🦁 What. A. Night. 🦒
On Saturday, 540 members of the PVS family, including employees, family members, and friends, enjoyed a private evening at the Detroit Zoo as the Zoo celebrated its 98th birthday.
The night started with hamburgers, hot dogs, Dippin' Dots, face painting, and plenty of smiles before everyone headed out to explore the zoo after hours.
Some animals were winding down for the evening (the gorillas were definitely asleep 😴), while others were putting on a show. Wildebeests chased each other across their habitat, a grizzly bear played in the water, lion cubs kept visitors entertained, stingrays were a crowd favorite, and the tiger looked ready for action.
And then there were the lions. Their deep, powerful roars echoed throughout the zoo and immediately grabbed everyone's attention. For many guests, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hear them so vocal.
Guests also enjoyed carousel rides, giraffe sightings, and countless opportunities to make memories together.
Even better? After a week of threatening forecasts, not a single drop of rain fell during our event.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening. It was a wild and wonderful night that we won't soon forget.
