[Aug 11, 2018] GIRS weekend at the Omaha Zoo (Omaha, NE)

GIRS weekend at the Omaha Zoo/behind the scenes tour/speaker event

Aug 11th & 12th

Another great event brought to you by the Greater Iowa Reef Society.

Each day, Sat & Sun there will be a behind the scenes tour at 1:00 on a first come first serve basis. If demand is greater than 20 people, members will have the first opportunity for the 20 spots. If demand is still high, we ask that 1 member per family attend. The zoo has requested only 18+ attend the tours.

The tours, speakers, and dinner are free, however, you will still have to pay admission to the zoo.

not 100% set yet, but tours will likely be around 1:00 each day. Presentations will be Sat evening at 5:00 and 6:30. Probably with food in between

 

If you havent been to the zoo, they have one of the best aquariums in the nation IMO.

 

If you are coming, please indicate Sat or Sun tour

 

Updated with speaker location and times.

Again please indicate which day you want for your behind the scenes tour.
