Nyasi's First Birthday at the Louisville Zoo

Get ready to party! Nyasi the giraffe is turning ONE, and you’re invited to his wild birthday bash on Saturday, August 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.!

This is more than just a celebration—it’s a full-on giraffe experience. Start your day with friendly docents on hand to share fun facts and answer all your giraffe questions. Then gather by the moat for giraffe chats at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., followed by the chance to feed the giraffes at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.—a rare and unforgettable encounter! At 10:30 a.m., don’t miss Nyasi’s birthday cake enrichment as he enjoys a special treat out on the rocks. Families can also sign a giant community birthday bard that will be proudly displayed in the hallway all week long. And before you leave, swing by the Gift Shop for free giraffe stickers to remember the day.

Whether you’re a lifelong animal lover or just looking for a unique way to spend your Saturday, Nyasi’s first birthday promises smiles, surprises, and safari-style fun for all ages!
