SPEAKER: Treetop Trail Visit at the Minnesota Zoom
TOPIC: Treetop Trail
Minnesota Zoo Arrival Instructions:
This is a reminder that we will be meeting in the Minnesota Zoo’s Education Events Center at 7:30 am on Wednesday, October 4th; here are arrival instructions:
Enter the Zoo grounds through the main driveway (13000 Zoo Boulevard should direct you there)
Turn left at the 4-way stop
Keep driving past all but the last parking lot entrances until you face the zoo buildings, then turn right to park in Dolphin lot (I recommend parking in the blue circled area as it is the closest to the EEC)
The meeting space will be on the left as you face the front of the zoo; walk to the left past the cinder block buildings down a short driveway, and you will see a sign for the Education Events Center.
A continental breakfast will be served. Zoo staff will be making a presentation before we have the chance to walk all or part of the Treetop Trail. The trail is a 1.25 mile walking path that is elevated up to 32 feed above the ground.

Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $3 for 5 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot. If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot. If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again.
