Cleaning The Pool

Louisville Zoo Glacier Run staff enter the 108,000-gallon Seal and Seal Lion pool for the first time on June 7, 2010, to vacuum and clean it to prepare it for the seals and sea lions. The exhibit is set to have a public Grand Opening on June 30, 2010, at 10:30 a.m.

Lightening Strikes

High atop the Glacier Run exhibit stands a tall metallic rod with a unique design. This is the new wave in lighting protection. Because of the risk of a lightning strike and the large amount of water held in the pools, the rod system is actually protection for the exhibit and the animals it will house.
