Hattiesburg Zoo to host 'Pirate Day'

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Hattiesburg Zoo is celebrating its Pirate Day theme event this Saturday.

The zoo hopes the event will attract all ages. The event will include a variety of pirate activities, such as, a walk the plank pool near the alligator exhibit, and a special pirate surprise.

Adults can also enjoy this event with pirate theme drinks too.

Hattiesburg Zoo Outreach Manager Jeremy Cumpton said, "We are trying to incorporate some more adult themes here, we can get this crowd into the zoo, and get their support."

He added, "We need it, we try to make the changes in the community, we cannot do it without the support from them."

Admission into the zoo is still the same, said Cumpton.
