Birmingham families can kick off the New Year with a wild twist—celebrating alongside rescued cougars at the Birmingham Zoo! Both daytime and evening events on Dec. 31 promise hands-on activities, keeper chats, and a unique countdown featuring a giant cougar lantern. The new Cougar Crossing habitat is now home to four orphaned big cats, giving them a fresh start and our community a reason to celebrate. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, there’s something for everyone—including a scavenger hunt and over 300 glowing animal lanterns. Who’s planning to join the festivities and welcome 2025 in a truly unforgettable way? #Pets #BirminghamZoo #NewYearsEve
