BAMZ hosts open house to celebrate centenary

100 years strong: the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (Photograph supplied)

Members of the public can receive sweet treats and explore the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo free of charge on Saturday.

A statement said an open house from 10am to 3pm will mark the 100th anniversary of BAMZ and 50 years that it has been supported by the Bermuda Zoological Society.

The statement said: “The open house is part of the broader Aquarium 100 Campaign, a public-private initiative to build on the legacy of BAMZ as a world-class centre for conservation, education and research.

“The day will offer the community a chance to explore the wonder within the facility, connect with the teams from BAMZ and BZS that make the magic a reality, and discover what the next 100 years will look like for this treasured Bermudian institution.”

The fun includes a scavenger hunt throughout the Hamilton Parish facility, performances by the Gombeys and other acts, animal encounters, complimentary Portuguese doughnuts and popsicles and bouncy castles.

Overflow parking will be available at Whitney Institute and a shuttle bus will take patrons between the school and BAMZ throughout the open house.

King Charles III celebrated the 100th anniversary of BAMZ when he visited the island from April 30 to May 2.
