March, 2011

On March 26 & 27, Koala Exhibit will be staged at Phoenix Zoo. It's actually a going away party for us to say goodbye to our cute koala friends, Kobi and Sooky. They're going to return to their home, the San Diego Zoo. We really appreciate of the happy time we spent together with these furry cuties.

Koala Exhibit will last from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm each day. On the occasion, you can take photos for memory or sign an oversized goodbye card to Kobi and Sooky. Want to joins us? Click here for more info:
