Local children across the Miami area are invited to bring a gently-used stuffed animal to Zoo Miami, where they can swap it for a brand new Sleepy Bear teddy bear and receive free admission to the zoo that day. Children will also be able to participate in a number of kid-friendly activities such as face painting, drawing contests & educational presentations.

Free admission will be limited to the first 100 children, but everyone visiting the zoo is invited to participate. There will be photo opportunities with Sleepy Bear, take-home National Geographic activity booklets and a meet and greet with one of the zoo’s bear experts. Additional teddy bears will also be offered to all guests, while supplies last, along with Sleepy Bear masks and temporary bear tattoos.
