If you have young kids, there's a good chance you're always looking for ways to keep them occupied. Luckily for us parents, Zoo Boise has some changes on the way but before they can fully accomplish their goal, they need our help first.

What Are They Building At Zoo Boise?

Zoo Boise announced on their page a while back that they're constructing some improvements with a new gift shop and Viriginia R. Bartak Red Panda Passage.

"Opening this year, guests will feel like they are entering a lush Asian forest," Zoo Boise says on their site. "The new habitat features three outdoor yards, indoor space, climbing structures for the red pandas, and an overhead walkway where red pandas can explore and move between spaces."

"This thoughtfully designed environment will provide the perfect home for multiple red pandas and any future cubs."

Zoo Boise wants to remind people that just because they're adding more red pandas, doesn't mean they're saying goodbye to two local favorites.

"Don't worry - Jasper and Stevie are still here," Zoo Boise shared on their donation page. "We just need your help to provide homes for even more red pandas!"

And that's where we come in!

Zoo Boise is looking for donors to help bring in these red pandas to Viriginia R. Bartak Red Panda Passage and are targeting an opening date of late spring for all the pandas to be set up in their new homes.

You can learn more about the project and set up your one-time or recurring donation HERE.
