You’ll also have a chance to say hello to some furry friends at the Top of the Podium Petting Zoo.

Take a break and enjoy the Olympic flame airbrushed tattoos or enter to win some London 2012 prizes. Join the interpretive staff to play some games or help make an amazing animal enrichment treat for some of our Canadian animal friends. Next, watch some of the Edmonton Valley Zoo Staff compete in the Edmonton Valley Staff Olympics and help cheer on your favourite athlete!
