Bring your camera when you come to the Louisville Zoo for Storybook Character Week/files/storyimages/May 20 and 21. The Zoo is open from 10-5 but the special activities take place between noon and 4 p.m. This is a great time to take a photo of your family with one of your favorite storybook characters.
