    Who’s Who at the Zoo?

    Apple Valley, MN, Feb. 7, 2025 — No vacation is complete without a trip to the zoo. While refusing to show up for work at the state capitol for more than three weeks, state reps Erin Quade, John Huot, and Robert Bierman took a trip to the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. The trio promised taxpayer money for a new operating room at the zoo.

    According to its annual reports, the zoo already collects millions in revenue every year from admission fees, alcohol and food sales, donations, and grants. The zoo, which is only open to the public six hours a day, charges about $22 for each adult admission and $10 for parking. In addition to it’s ticket revenues, the zoo frequently hosts special events and concerts and runs fundraising campaigns such as a current campaign charging $15 to name a bug that will be fed to a zoo animal.
