Panda Party

Looking for a last chance to wave goodbye to the 4 year old giant panda who captured your heart via webstream while you procrastinated at work? Tai Shan returns to China on February 4th to enter into a breeding program to save giant pandas worldwide.

But on January 30th – from 11AM to 3 PM – talks with zoo specialists, panda interpreters, art activities and commemorative postage stamps are just some of the activities you can enjoy at the National Zoo’s fond farewell send off for the cub.

Land-o-Lakes will even have a butterstick tribute showing photos of Tai Shan since birth (appropriate since the cub was born the size of a stick of butter)! Free and open to the public.
