Long Island Game Farm Opens for 39th Season
MANORVILLE, N.Y. — It's that time of the year again! The Long Island Game Farm
announces that it will kick off
its 2008 season on Saturday, April
19. The park will be open seven
days a week, through Columbus Day,
October 13. 2008 marks the Game
Farm's thirty ninth year of providing
high quality fun and education
to families throughout Long Island.
From
alligators to zebra and scores
of animals in between, the Long
Island Game Farm Wildlife and Children's Zoo has many interactive
areas
where guests can touch and, unlike
most zoos, actually feed the animals!
During the summer season, entertainment
and educational programs are featured
center stage at the 500 seat amphitheater."Tigerpalooza!"
The Long Island Game Farm's New
Tiger Show for
2008 will debut in the stadium
on May 24 and run with daily showings
until September 1. Also, a surprise
exhibit will be unveiled this season.
It is sure to be a sight to see!
During
the months of July and August,
a week-long children's camp – Camp
Zoo will return. Registration for
Camp Zoo began on March 1, marking
the beginning of its fifth year
as a unique program that provides
children with a hands-on educational
experience with nature.
"We can't wait to open for our
thirty-ninth season. Every year
gets better and better as we educate
our guests about the animal world
and nature. I have the privilege
of watching thousands of students
experience first-hand what they
learn in books from the classroom.
One of our greatest joys is when
families throughout the region
or visiting Long Island get to
enjoy the park and spend quality
time together. Bringing people
together- what could be better?
It is sure to be our best season
yet," said Diane Novak, Co-Owner
and President of the Long Island
Game Farm.
One of the best times
of the year to visit the Game Farm
is early
spring, when many of the animals
have given birth to newborns. This
year's newborns should include
Barbados Sheep, rabbits, sheep,
ducks, goats and others. "Once
you walk into the Game Farm, take
in the beauty of springtime as
you interact with all of our newborns."
said Novak.
