First Responders Day
Brookfield Zoo Chicago invites guests to celebrate and show appreciation for firefighters, police officers, Emergency Medical Services workers and other first responders with a day of special activities, meet and greets with dogs from local K-9 units, “touch a truck” experiences and demonstrations for all ages. The sixth annual event will include an American flag displayed by local fire departments, a ceremonial parade at 11 a.m. featuring bagpipes and the opportunity to interact with representatives from up to 50 local agencies and organizations—including the 100 Club of Illinois, which supports families of fallen law enforcement officers and firefighters. The celebration is free with Zoo admission.
