Today is actually my mother’s birthday, and while it is a special day for my family, it’s certainly not the only birthday this weekend. In fact, as you have probably guessed, there are a number of people both famous and not-so-famous who are celebrating their birthdays this weekend as well. However, if you don’t happen to know any of these people, you may be looking for a way to join in on the celebratory fun. Fortunately, if this is indeed the case and you are looking for a way to join in on all of the birthday fun even though it’s not your birthday, it just so happens that there are a pair of lions at the Franklin Park Zoo who are celebrating their birthdays tomorrow.
Dinari and Kamaia, who are actually brothers, are both celebrating their seventh birthday from 10:15 AM to 2:00 P.M. tomorrow (Saturday, March 12, 2016). This celebration will allow you to see the lions playing with special birthday enrichment items, learn interesting facts about the lions, and sign a giant birthday card. Best of all, you will actually be able to enjoy a slice of birthday cake if you are one of the first 200 people to join in on the festivities. For more information on the Lion Birthday Celebration at the Franklin Park Zoo, which is included in the zoo’s normal admission price, please visit Zoo New England’s Special Events page.
