There's an important conservation message at Boo at the Zoo, also! The candy they give away comes from manufacturers who belong to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) or follow comparable sustainability practices. The harvesting of palm oil in Southeast Asia is one of the biggest threats to Malayan tigers and wildlife.

The Palm Beach Zoo is located at 1301 Summit Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Florida (561) 547-9453 (WILD).
