The Utica Zoo is looking to give their monkeys and primates to a more suitable and modern living environment. Tonight, they're hosting a movie night fundraiser for the cause.

The primates current home is almost 90 years old, and that's why all the monkeys, tamarins, tegus, and Zoo staff are hoping you come out to support them this evening.

The Zoo will be showing the animated movie "Rio" tonight at 8:30.  Money raised will go towards funding the renovations for the primate building. There will be animal face painting, delicious food, and lots of fun activities.

According to Utica Zoo.Org:

Every donation made before October 31, 2016 will be matched up to $25,000! The Primate Building (previously called Cat Building) was built in 1927 by a $17,000 donation from the Utica Lions Club and is in need of some major updates. . The bars need to go, because We Don’t Like it Either!

The Zoo has a goal of $350,000, and every donation made before October 31, 2016 will be matched up to $25,000. So far, they have raised $98,000.

Movie admission is $5 and $2 for Utica Zoo Members. Bring a lawn chair, a blanket, and your little ones out for a little film fun in the summertime.
