Children are invited to bring their stuffed animals for a complimentary ‘check-up’ by the expert medical team from Nemours Children’s Health.

“We’re proud to partner with Nemours Children’s Health to offer an event that brings education, wellness, and fun together, all while families enjoy the Zoo and connect with nature,” said Nikki Smith, the Zoo’s Chief Philanthropy and Marketing Officer.
The Teddy Bear Affair provides a playful and educational experience for children, allowing them to engage in hands-on ‘medical care’ for their plush toys.
Activities include X-rays, eye exams, casts, and even mini-surgeries to repair their well-loved stuffed animals.
The event aims to teach children about the importance of regular check-ups and healthy habits through interactive play.
