San Diego, CA (August 6, 2011) – Spending a day at the zoo is a favorite past time for most families and many travel great distances to experience the animal wonders of the world. Families can now enjoy a similar experience closer to home with the new PETCO ZOO kicking off during PETCO’s monthly “Meet the Critters” event August 6 - 7, 2011 at PETCO stores across the nation. Families can receive a guided tour of featured animals such as exotic birds, aquatic life and reptiles from 1-2pm, while also learning about their habitats and what it takes to become a good pet parent.
The PETCO ZOO companion animal area is an exciting, engaging and inspiring area of the store for children to see all of the interesting animals from around the world. They can touch, feel and interact with the animals, discover their animal personality match and learn about animal care from a knowledgeable associate.
"Meet the Critters” is a free monthly educational event that allows guests of all ages to enjoy hands-on activities while learning about a variety of unique and interesting pets from reptiles to rabbits.
