Noorundi’s and Iluka’s visit to the John Ball Zoo is coming to an end. Before the two guests return home to the San Diego Zoo, the John Ball Zoo wanted to give the Koalas a proper send off with a three-day celebration over Labor Day weekend. Starting Saturday, there will be live music, face painting, live animal strolls, and a cookout. Visitors also will have the chance to see zookeepers weigh and clean the Koala cages as well as feed them. Those activities will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily.

For specific details on the event, visit jbzoo.org. The John Ball Zoo is located at 1300 W. Fulton St.
