The Zoo's long vacant Whale Pool is also being renovated into the Target Learning Center, a new education facility which will host the popular KAYTEE World of Birds Free-Flight Show and a Raptor Holding Area. Phase 1 will also become the upgraded new Main Entry to the MN Zoo. This 20 Million dollar project is with M.A.Mortenson Company, a long time and valued customer of Olympic Companies. The construction schedule will run from approximately September 2010 to June 2011.
