Visitors invited to make treats

The ice rink, merry-go-round and hiking trails at Bear Mountain also will be open. Parking at Bear Mountain State Park is $8 per vehicle and a $1 per person donation is suggested for admission to the zoo. Visit trailsidezoo.org or nyparks.com/parks/13 for more information. Allow 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the zoo.
