Groundhog Day Celebration
February 2, 10 am

Will there be six more weeks of winter or an early spring? If Smith Lake Jake does not see his shadow, that means an end to winter! If he does see his shadow, that means Alabamians must endure six more weeks of winter.

See the answer for yourself as he emerges to make his annual prediction at the Zoo's Wildlife Stage. Coffee and doughnuts will be available for guests.

We hope to see your shadow at the Birmingham Zoo!
