The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens will host socially distanced breakfasts alongside some of your favorite zoo animals.
Running from April through August, Breakfast with the Animals, which is sponsored by Nutella, allows guests to watch the animals throughout the zoo wake up.
The catered breakfast, which takes place on the African deck overlooking the savanna, starts at 7 a.m. with offerings to meet every person’s palette. Obviously, there will be pancakes with Nutella, but there will also be a variety of breakfast burritos, fruit, yogurt, hash browns and non-alcoholic beverages.
“We recognize that a morning at the zoo, especially in times when outings are more limited, is such an exciting excursion for so many families. We’re looking forward to making an already wow-worthy moment that much more so with pancakes with Nutella,” Todd Midura, vice president of marketing, Nutella North America at Ferrero, says in a press release.
Once breakfast, is over, guests will hear stories from a zookeeper about their personal experiences, learn fun facts about the animals at the Cincinnati Zoo, and get an up-close look at some of their favorite animals.
There are ten dates to choose from, and each breakfast features different animals. And if you’re looking to have a meal with Cincinnati’s favorite hippo, Fiona will be featured at four of the breakfast events.
Tickets cost $119 per person and are expected to go quickly. See dates below to check out which animals you want to eat with.
