An explosion of color comes to the Cincinnati Zoo. Every spring, the grounds of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens are transformed into a sea of bright oranges, yellows, reds and pinks. Millions of flowers bloom each year, drawing visitors from across the nation to the zoo’s annual Zoo Blooms celebration. But that changed in 2020. Although the blooms were as abundant and colorful as ever, no one was there to see them when the zoo closed amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the zoo presented its flowers online. However, visitors will be invited back to the zoo in 2021. This year’s celebration of the zoo flowers will take place from April 1st to April 30th. You may be wondering when is the best time to see the tulips. The Cincinnati Zoo said in a tweet that it is difficult to pinpoint the maximum tulip time, but said you can’t go wrong if you visit April 7-15. Look for bright yellow and white daffodils that are in bloom throughout the park. Many varieties of red and yellow tulips bloom first, followed by the main bloom. More than 100,000 tulips deliver every imaginable color. The flowering bulbs are complemented by thousands of flowering trees and bushes. As one of only two accredited botanical gardens in Ohio, the Cincinnati Zoo features one of the largest tulip displays in the Midwest. Zoo Blooms, also known as “Tulip Madness”, has more than a million daffodils, hyacinths, flowering trees, shrubs and other brightly colored spring onions. The personal Tunes & Blooms concerts are canceled this year, but visitors who want music with their blossoms can check out the Cincinnati Zoo’s special playlist as they walk through the zoo. Click here to access the Spotify playlist. “The gardens are spectacular with or without music, but this playlist is the next best thing to enjoy live music from the zoo. We plan to resume the popular concerts next year, “said Thane Maynard, director of Cincinnati Zoo. Guests can also enhance their visit with the Zoo Blooms Walking Tour. The tour is led by Cincinnati Zoo’s Horticultural Director Steve Foltz.” That’ll show you the best of the best in the garden, triggered by GPS when you’re physically walking in a geofenced area. So you can keep your device in your pocket and focus on the experience around you, “the Cincinnati Zoo wrote on its website. The tulips have already started blooming this week, despite Foltz saying cold weather is bringing things to a halt “The gardens will be spectacular for a few weeks after that.” Zoo Blooms is included with admission to the zoo. Reservations are still required for the zoo, along with several other COVID-19 restrictions. For more information on zoo flowers, please visit here.
