❤️ Father’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love, care, and guidance are not just human traits — they’re woven into the natural world. In the animal kingdom, many fathers play vital roles in raising and protecting their young, from the seahorse dad who carries his babies in a pouch, to the emperor penguin who shelters his chick through the harsh winter.

🙏 Help support wildlife conservation by “ROUNDING UP” when you make a purchase at the Zoo restaurants and gift shop.
- Just say “Yes!” and your contribution makes a difference for animals around the world!

Today, we were proud to launch the Tourist Kiosk Program, with the El Paso Zoo serving as the program’s first partnership location through a collaborative effort between the City of El Paso, the El Paso Zoo, and Advanced Robot Solutions. The kiosks showcase cultural attractions, historical sites, outdoor recreation, museums, and local events that make our region so unique. The interactive kiosk offers visitors the opportunity to take photos using a variety of themed backgrounds, including zoo-inspired experiences featuring elephants, tigers, giraffes, and other wildlife. 📸 🦒 Initiatives and partnerships such as this one support tourism, economic development, and community engagement while creating stronger connections throughout our community. 🙌 A special thank you to Zoo Director Gary Lunsford, James Martinez, Lynn Sanchez and Sandra Andrade of the El Paso County Law Library, and the entire El Paso Zoo team for their collaboration and support in bringing this initiative to life.
