You’re invited to the cutest birthday party in town! On Saturday, Jan. 17 the Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is hosting a 1st Birthday Party for the Bear Cubs. Black bear cubs Korben, Tilly and Ruby are turning one year old, and the public is welcome to the Zoo for a celebration at 1 p.m. 

Zookeepers will demonstrate target training with the cubs. The Zoo will also do a special dedication of the Bears and Butterflies mural by Artist Debra Wilson. Refreshments will be served. This party will be free with regular paid Zoo admission. You can RSVP on Facebook if you’re planning to attend the party.
