As I eat a banana, I'm writing to you about the Donkey Kong event happening at the LA Zoo Memorial weekend. It easily could have been called Donkey Kong LA. Anyway, some fun events will happening at the LA Zoo for the re-launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for the 3DS.
Donkey Kong Country Returns @ LA Zoo
Memorial Day weekend
May 24-27
10 a.m. -5 p.m
L.A. Zoo
5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90027
So what will you be swinging into? Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D at Campo Gorilla Reserve. At the changed Gorilla Reserve there will be demo stations for the game and five bucks off coupon giveaways for GameStop. The best part will be the Donkey Kong Interactive Experience, which has the zoo throwing food barrels into the Gorilla habitat for them to munch up. I'm not sure if the barrels will just be cardboard or just filled with food, but it'll be fun to see Gorillas breaking them open like Donkey Kong. Someone will be dressed in a Donkey Kong suit to have your pictures taken with.
There's no way there going to give a gorilla a tie to wear, but that be so funny.
Tips
- Parking will be bad, get there early or be prepared to park on the far off side streets
-Buy tickets online, there will be a line to get in, it's basically a theme park
-Straws are a lie, don't order an Icee. The LA Zoo doesn't support straws, because they hurt the environment? They just tell you that after you buy things, put up a sign saying that LA Zoo.
