Although the leaves are not falling quite yet, a local zoo is returning to its fall hours. 

Scovill Zoo Executive Director Heather Purdeu explains that as students of all ages return to school, the Zoo sees a decline in young employees and guests at this time of year. This means that Monday through Friday, the Zoo will close at 5:00 PM with final entry at 4:00 PM. 

We'll have more with Purdeu in the weeks ahead on the fall programming at the Scovill Zoo. In the meantime, learn more on their Facebook Page or by visiting decatur-parks.org/scovill-zoo.
