This spring and summer, woolly mammoths and saber-tooth cats will greet visitors at the Brookfield Zoo in the western suburbs.
The massive mastodon, which weighed up to 17,000 pounds, neared extinction about 10,000 years ago. Evidence suggests that diminishing food sources — shrubbery and leaves — due to warming temperatures, made it impossible for the massive animal to survive.
More than 35 life-size, animatronic re-creations of these long-since extinct animals are on display, complete with moving heads, eyes, mouths and tails. They can be found on the east side of the park and also on the west end of the park by Swan Lake.“Ice Age Giants was a chance for us to engage our guests in stories about animals that departed during the ice age that we are currently still in,” he said.
“It’s a great way to take some cool selfies, take a family photo in front of it and create some memories.”The zoo is excited to return to normal this year with a slate of events on its 2022 calendar. Bands will be on the East Mall and include Hello Weekend July 1, Trippin Billies July 2, ARRA July 8, Boy Band Review July 9, Sixteen Candles July 15, American English July 16, 7th Heaven July 22, Hillbilly Rockstarz July 23, Southern Accents July 29, and House Party July 30.
Several tasting sessions and ticket options, including for designated drivers, are available. All tickets include free parking and admission to the zoo.
