Zoo Tree
This giant tree of cuddly animals is indeed a Festival favorite!  These huggable friends, filling the 20-foot-plus tree, are collected throughout the year and distributed to ill and needy children throughout the community after the close of Festival. Over the past 13 years, more than 12,000 Zoo Tree animals have been collected and distributed.  The Zoo tree is located in the atrium of the RiverCenter South build and is a spectacular sight to see as visitors enter.
