GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - If you and your family haven't checked out the John Ball Zoo yet, there's is only about 11 days left of their 2019 season to do so.
The zoo shared on Facebook their last day of the season was soon approaching. According to their website, the last day is officially Sunday, November 3.
The zoo is closing about a month earlier than usual because of a construction project set to begin in November. In the spring of 2020 there will be a new winding ADA compliant entry pathway, along with new restrooms, concession stand and groundwork to bring new animals to John Ball.
