Tortoises, Start Your Engines!
This unique annual event and race fan favorite includes a morning of family-friendly festivities leading up to the "Greatest Spectacle in Tortoise Racing." At 11:30 am, the "racing" radiated tortoises and their animal care team will take center stage for a parade lap, joined by the 500 Festival Princesses and American Dairy Association mascot, Buttercup.
When the green flag drops at 11:30, cheer on the tortoises as they race up, down, and around the straight track. But these natives of Madagascar don't race for a trophy. Instead, they're after the delicious fruits waiting at the finish line! Come out and see what makes the Greatest Spectacle in Tortoise Racing such a beloved Zoo event.
