Jungle Island Zoo
Jungle Island Zoo is an “extremely entertaining and excitingly educational exotic animal encounter!” They feature numerous rare and unusual animals from around the world. Visitors can observe, pet and feed the animals at their leisure and, unlike scheduled shows, “everyone gets a front row seat”! Young and old alike are fascinated with the hands on exposure to animals most have only seen on television or in distant zoo enclosures. The zoo is family operated; the staff is clean, friendly and knowledgeable. Attendants are always available to provide interesting and fun facts or to answer questions one-on-one.
Jungle Island Zoo’s mobile bird encounter is a delightful experience for the entire family. Imagine the fun and excitement of hand-feeding hundreds of brightly colored parakeets as they utter about. Hear the children’s squeals and laughter of adults amid the chirping songs and swishing of countless wings. Hold tightly to your feed “stix” as dozens of these feathered jewels scramble for the best perch. Truly a close encounter of the “bird” kind!
Photos with the babies are offered (at an additional cost) for those wanting a memento of their visit. Special feed is available (for a small fee) at the entrance. Hand sanitizing stations are provided as well. Colorful and attractive pens, informative signs, spacious walkways and clean surroundings lend to the petting zoo’s overall magnetism.
Jungle Island Zoo will be located in Roschman Park, daily, from Friday, August 15 through Saturday, August 23, 2025. Admission is free to the zoo.
Be sure to visit our new mobile bird encounter located next to the petting zoo!

David Anthony Magic/Hypnosis Show
A native of Cleveland, Ohio David Anthony started his love of magic when he was five years old and his uncle got him a magic kit. He shared his love as a performer for the first time when he was twelve years old.
He worked vigorously on his show with the help of Rodney Whitlock, the owner of a local magic shop. He attended his first magic convention when he was fifteen years old. Since then he has won competitions with his award-winning act, “A Tale of Serendipity.” These have included 3rd place in the 2008 International Battle of Magicians, 1st place at the Magi-Fest in 2009, and 1st place at the International Brotherhood of Magicians in 2009 where he also won the prestigious Fantasma Award.
Imagine the person that was sitting next to you just a few minutes ago is now up on stage and can’t remember their own name or better yet on the stage claiming that their belly button was stolen! This is just the beginning of what to expect. David will invite anyone who wants to get hypnotized on stage. In just a few moments, the volunteers fall into a hypnotic trance..
David Anthony brings your audience to life in his one man comedy magic show. The show can be tailored to fit your performance needs. The show involves a lot of audience participation so your students get to experience the show rather than just watch another performance.
Join David August 15th through August 18th at the Nutrien Plaza Stage!
