Newly Expanded Meerkat Exhibit Grand Opening November 23rd At Riverview Park & Zoo

Riverview Park & Zoo (RPZ) has been able to expand its indoor meerkat exhibit by two and a half times its original size with the generous contributions from the community, including the 10th Anniversary Fun Run and a significant donation from 100 Men Peterborough.

Installed in-floor heating, high tech ventilation, improved lighting and new enrichment décor will provide a great indoor environment for the meerkats that call the zoo home this winter.

“It is because of generous community members that we are able to move forward on exhibit expansions and RPZ conservation efforts,” says Jim Moloney, Manager and Curator.

Grateful to all the contributors who made it possible, RPZ is hosting a grand opening of the exhibit on November 23rd. The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. This will be your chance to get a closer look at the meerkat family who have been off exhibit temporarily, waiting patiently for their new home to be ready.
