Bon Voyage, ‘Ozzy’

May 01, 2025 | 1 minute read

We musk ask you to help us say goodbye to our Siberian musk deer, ‘Ozzy’, as redevelopment continues in Exploration Asia!

Back in February, we shared that Ozzy would be moving this spring as part of the redevelopment in Exploration Asia — and now, the time has come. Goodbyes are never easy, but it’s always exciting to see one of our beloved residents embark on a new adventure.

Stop by before May 5th to wish Ozzy farewell on his journey!
