Cosley Zoo is a
feast for the senses during the month of October. Breathe in the crisp fall air
as you enter the zoo through a cornstalk-lined path, listen to the squeals of
excitement from the children conquering the straw pyramid or finding their way
through the corn stalk tunnel, and take in the thousands of pumpkins scattered
on the zoo’s lawn. Apples, gourds, cider, cornstalks, and straw bales are also
available for purchase. (Proceeds benefit the continued development of Cosley
Zoo.)
On Saturday, October 12, Cosley Zoo be collecting Halloween costumes to give to People's Resource Center, a great organization making a big impact in DuPage County. If you'd like to donate, please bring your gently used costumes to the Wild Side gift shop on October 12.
