Como Zoo Hosts Early New Year's Eve Ball Drop
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Not everyone can stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve. So, a special ball drop was held for them earlier today.
Kids and families got the fun started a little earlier Wednesday at Como Zoo in St. Paul.
The zoo held a countdown to 12. Twelve noon, that is.
Kids also got to decorate party hats and there was a big dance party.
"We had a ton of fun. This is actually our third year coming out to Como zoo New Year's Eve, and the boys loved the dance parties and the ball drop, of course, catching the balloons," Megan Loahr, of Gottage Grove, said.
Since this is always a popular activity, the zoo is holding the countdown party again on New Year's Day from 10 am until 1 pm.
