Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, Como Horticulturalist Rylee grew from seed and has brought out something truly breathtaking. 🌺

From tiny seeds to stunning blooms, these vibrant poppies are now on display in the Exhibit Gallery just before you enter the Fern Room. The photos honestly do not compare to seeing them in person.

Poppies have long been a symbol of remembrance and sacrifice, making them especially meaningful this Memorial Day Weekend. Their delicate petals remind us both of the beauty of life and the importance of honoring those who served.

But don’t wait too long to visit. Poppies are famous for their short-lived blooms, and these gorgeous flowers will not last forever.

One more reason to spend your Memorial Day Weekend at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory.

Just look at that face. 🦥❤️

Como’s new baby sloth is looking stronger every day, and guests can now catch adorable moments like this between baby and mom, Sago.

The little one was born on May 6 to first-time parents Sago and Ziggy as part of an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) breeding recommendation. Our animal care team continues to closely monitor mom and baby, and we’re thrilled with how well things are going so far.

If you’ve been thinking about visiting Como this weekend, this is your sign. Stop by the Primate Building and see if you can spot the newest (and slowest!) little member of the Como family hanging out with mom. 💚
