Part of ongoing planned changes at the zoo.

GRANT PARK β€” Zoo Atlant plans to break ground on its new reptile facility June 4 with a special 10 a.m. ceremony.

The 14,000-square-foot facility is to replace the existing 51-year-old World of Reptiles building, the oldest structure still in use at the zoo.

The new amphibian center is part of Zoo Atlanta's single-largest fundraising effort aimed supporting a host of planned changes at the facility.
