Charles Paddock Zoo presents Valentine Adopt-a-Cockroach!
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Charles Paddock Zoo is offering a unique way to show your true affection, with Adopt-A-Cockroach!
Through Tuesday, February 15th, 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 only $7, you will receive an official Certificate of Adoption that will include your special Valentine’s name, to give them this year for Valentine’s Day. Then, you can stop by the zoo on February 12th at 10:30 am to watch our meerkats enjoying some of the adopted cockroaches, for a very special treat!
For this truly distinctive Valentine gift, go to https://charlespaddockzoo.org/events/details/name-a-cockroach-for-your-valentine/
This year, you may also add an extra special touch to your Valentine's Day gifting: a special Cockroach T-shirt to show your love how extra special they are. To purchase yours, go to: https://www.bonfire.com/cockroach-valentine/.
