TOLEDO, OH (PRESS RELEASE) - Tembo Trail, home to the Toledo Zoo’s dynamic new elephant exhibit, is slated to open Friday, May 18.

Although the centerpiece of the new project is the $15 million elephant facility, funded by Lucas County 2006 capital levy voters and the zoo’s private capital campaign, Tembo Trail is more than elephants; it’s a fresh new look and feel to the area formerly known as the Savanna.

TOLEDO, OH (PRESS RELEASE) - For a walk on the wild side, take a Vineyard Adventure to the Toledo Zoo Friday, April 27 from 7 - 9 p.m.

You’ll enjoy gourmet champagnes and wines from Italy, Greece and Spain, plus hors d'oeuvres and live music with singing duo Brynn & Emma, featuring acoustic guitar and accompanying vocals – all in the sophisticated surroundings of the historic African Lodge. Don’t miss your opportunity to test your taste buds during the Guess the Grape challenge.
