The National Zoo and Aquarium
This year for Floriade About Town, The National Zoo and Aquarium comes alive this spring with Floriade About Town ‘Science and Nature’.
Have a day at the zoo and enjoy the beautiful floral displays alongside their artisan animal wood carvings and learn about the global plight of animals.
The National Zoo and Aquarium will be running special tours covering their floral stations discussing the artists who created the pieces and the conservation work done for these animals at the zoo and across the world.
Spring is a wonderful opportunity to stroll through the park grounds, admire the environment as it wakes up from the winter slumber and a family friendly day for all.
