FLOCK TO THE ZOO: Feathered friends
Our feathered friends have difficulties that they must adapt to to survive. Many of them are on the watch list as they are having difficulties making that adaptation. A few of them are highlighted through the various caches presented in this years offering.
Save the date! A new set of caches for the Assiniboine Park Zoo will be released with “Flock To The Zoo: Feathered Friends” on Saturday, September 27, 2025. This event’s format will be similar to our 2024 event to allow caches to be found throughout the day.

We plan to publish the caches after zoo closing on Friday, September 26, to allow folks to load their GPS units should they wish.
The caches will be available starting at 9:00am with the opening of the zoo for all of you FTF fanatics, and the event log will be near the entrance gate inside the zoo. The event log book will be available until 3:00pm so that people can arrive whenever they’d like throughout the day, grab some new caches, and enjoy lunch at the Tundra Grill, or a picnic at one of the many tables placed around the zoo. The zoo closes at 4:00pm.
A huge Thank You goes out to the Goecachers who donated gadget caches for this event. Watch for their names when we post the caches.
For our newbies, the Manitoba Geocaching Association is offering a "Learn How To Geocache" workshop at the Zoo's Education Centre in Room A. Receive an introduction into the world of Geocaching and learn how to use your own phone to discover these hidden adventures. Once you are ready, see if you can find the new caches hidden throughout the Zoo. The workshop starts at 10am and the Zoo's Education Centre is the grey building located next to the barn in Aunt Sally's Farm.
Admission, or membership, to the Assiniboine Park Zoo is required to participate in this event.
