Nothing says “dad” more than and scads of classic cars, zoo animals and beer.
At least that’s what the Sedgwick County Zoo, 5555 Zoo Blvd., is hoping for its Father’s Day Car Show from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Fathers get in free with a paying child. Admission is $8.95 for children 3 to 11 years old and $13.95 for those 12 to 61.
More than 150 classic cars, registered by local enthusiasts, will line the pathways of the zoo, which means a lot of horsepower will be on display — not including that from the Children’s Farms.
Special Events Manager Karen Bates said that many people register every year and try to zoom to the most visible spots in the zoo to display their car.
“We try to be orderly in getting them out,” Bates said. “We have to be careful, because we don’t want to block people’s view of the animals.”
If you have a classic car you feel deserves public viewing, it is not too late to register. For $25, you can register your vehicle on the morning of, between 6 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. For more information, call 316-660-9453
The zoo will be open until 5 p.m. Sunday.
