Valentine’s Day ‘Adopt a Cockroach’ returns to Charles Paddock Zoo 

Adopt a cockroach from the zoo as a new and fun way to express your love, or lack thereof

– The Charles Paddock Zoo is offering a unique way to show your true feeling, with their “Adopt-A-Cockroach” program this Valentine’s Day. Through Tuesday, Feb. 15, you can give that special someone in your life who is either very hard to shop for, or who might just be the perfect person to receive, their very own cockroach. Adopt a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach from the zoo as a new and fun way to express your love, or perhaps lack thereof!

For $7, participants will receive an official certificate of adoption that will include their special Valentine’s name. Then stop by the zoo on Feb. 12 at 10:30 a.m. to watch the meerkats enjoying some of the adopted cockroaches.

This year, participants may also add an extra special touch to their Valentine’s Day gifting: a special cockroach tee-shirt. To purchase, go to: https://www.bonfire.com/cockroach-valentine/.

The Charles Paddock Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks are required and they have plenty of social distancing space available since the zoo is primarily outdoors.
