Magnetic Hill Zoo News:
The zoo has unveiled their new five year plan today. It will concentrate mostly on the African exhibit.
Highlights:
- they will be building a new $40,000 macaw enclosure this year.
- the zoo's educational centre will be expanded to allow for more camps and programs
- there are plans afoot to build an "African village" with wood thatched huts, with a beach for a new flamingo exhibit, and an exhibit area for African invertebrates, spiders and rodents.
- there will be a new restaurant in this area, built out of shipping containers. There is a possibility this restaurant might be contracted out to a private operator, maybe a restaurant chain.
- As the African exhibit expands, there are plans afoot to operate a "safari tram" to take people around the exhibits.
- new species to be added to the African exhibit include (aside from those already mentioned), meerkats, warthogs, cheetahs and hyenas, as well as several new bird species.
The zoo keeps on getting better and better.
