The interlocking trunks of this adorable mother and calf tapir display gives visitors to the Minnesota Zoo's "Nature Illuminated" event all the feels. Featured in the exhibit's Tropical Forest region along with their lemur, sloth and cockatoo displays, to name a few, these giant animals help the zoo connect guests with endangered species in a meaningful, and memorable, way.
"This year’s event was the highest attended in some time, and the [inflatable] astronaut, front and center on our Portico, was a great visible draw from all over the area."
“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”
