Over the weekend, we spent the day at the Maryland Zoo, an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited zoo. That means it meets the highest standards in animal care and provide a fun, safe, and educational family experience. And thanks to Stonyfield you can get free kids’ admission into one of these amazing zoos.
When you visit an AZA zoo you not only get a great day with your family but you are helping to support animal conservation and welfare.
It was an overcast day, but perfect for a walk at the zoo. We have never visited this one before, and what a gem. There are daily activities with the keepers, hands on experiences, and even a huge slide built into a giant tree.
We saw several different animals, learning more about them from the keepers on hand. Did you know Porcupines do not have quills on their bellies. If they did they would not be able to walk backwards.
The kids also got to feed a giraffe! He was such a sweet boy too!
Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction) program on a mission to help save endangered species.
As part of a year-long effort, Stonyfield will not only be contributing funds to field work but aiming to drive kids and their families to see animals and conservation projects first hand at zoos, aquariums, and on the ground where the research is happening. Stonyfield YoKids’ sponsorship of AZA SAFE will support conservation efforts for 10 endangered species.

What is your favorite animal to see up close at the zoo?

This looks like such a fun zoo to go to! I have never been to Maryland Zoo, but we live in PA so it’s not too terribly far from us. Our kids love going to zoos.
I love how close you are able to get to the animals! This isn’t terribly far for us either! My daughter loves Stoneyfield products!
What a fun day. I got the giggles seeing your husband inside the turtle. too funny. Thanks to Stonyfield for the awesome day you got to share.
We love that zoo! Always such a fun time, and my son always has a blast. Love the snack idea to bring smoothies!
What a fun time! It’s cool that you can get a free pass by picking up some YoKids multipacks. A zoo trip would be a lot of fun!
Looks like a wonderful day! I can’t wait for our visit. BTW, strawberry and banana is my favorite flavor, too.

We love visiting zoos when travel and here at home. This is a wonderful promotion from Stonyfield.
What a wonderful family day. The zoo looks so fun. I like that Stonyfield gives back and the yogurt drinks are healthy.
My kids love Stonyfield products so I cannot wait to pick some up and head to the zoo with them! I’m definitely adding this zoo to our list when we visit the area the end of the month!
I love the photos, and it looks like your kids had a great day. Feeding the giraffes is one of my favorite things – they are so cute!
I love the zoo. Looks like you guys had so much fun. Why did I laugh at the porcupine fact (why do they need to walk backwards? lolol)
The Maryland zoo looks like a great time. I love all of these photos!
What fantastic photos 🙂 We love visiting the zoo. Oscar loves looking at the monkey’s and the elephants the most!

My kids love visiting Zoo as they can see variety of animals. I always try to plan an outing at Zoo.
