As the season of love approaches, the Utica Zoo has put\ntogether a great gift option that not only will warm the heart of that special\nsomeone, but will also provide an enrichment opportunity for animals at the\nZoo. The Valentine\u2019s Enrichment Gifts allows the community to purchase an\nenrichment item and give it to an animal in honor of a special someone this\nValentine\u2019s Day or to simply provide an enrichment item from an animal lover.\nEnrichment is a crucial part of caring for animals and contributes greatly to\nthe animal\u2019s physical and psychological health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would-Be romantics and animal lovers can purchase either a\nValentine\u2019s Day Enrichment Card for $10, a Rose or Flower themed enrichment\nitem for $25, or a Frozen Heart filled with treats enrichment item for $50-a\ngift perfect for a special someone, or perhaps a not-so-special someone. The\nZoo will also contact your special someone to let them know there has been a\ngift purchased in their honor, and leave a special gift note at each animal\nexhibit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Valentine\u2019s Enrichment Gift is a really fun way to\nprovide a gift option for the gift buyer who has run out of ideas, loves\nanimals, or just wants something unique to give to their special someone. Plus,\nour animals really enjoy their enrichment time and it\u2019s so important to their\noverall health that we hope to be able to provide a wide variety of gifts to\nour animals this Valentine\u2019s season and make someone\u2019s day all at the same\ntime. We often get questions how people can get involved with supporting our\nanimals and this is just one of a variety of options,\u201d said Mark Simon,\nMarketing Coordinator at the Utica Zoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feb. 12 is the final day to purchase your Valentine\u2019s\nEnrichment Gift through the Utica Zoo. Gift recipients will be notified Feb. 14,\nand the community is encouraged to visit the Zoo on Valentine\u2019s Day to see the\nanimals receive their enrichment gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
