Wild Adventures: A Smart Zoo Experience will be at the Sartell Community Center from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 18. Sponsored by I Heart Cookies, the event will feature hyper-realistic, fully animatronic animals, including tigers, elephants, lions and a smoke-breathing, 40-foot king cobra.
Other on-site features will include an immersive virtual reality aquarium, fossil dig pits, play equipment for children and face painting. I Heart Cookies will also provide cookies on site for attendees to enjoy.
Admission requires the purchase of one cookie per person. Cookies cost $6 each, with a pack of six costing $25. There will also be a giveaway for a free cookie and admission to the event. To enter, attendees can RSVP “GOING” on the event’s Facebook page and tag three friends in the comments.
