Nick Teams Up with Miami MetroZoo

Nick Jr.'s Go, Diego, Go! will be featured in the Miami MetroZoo’s newest and largest exhibit, Amazon & Beyond, under terms of a five-year strategic alliance between Nickelodeon and the Zoological Society of Florida.

The series’ presence within the exhibit will include a regularly scheduled stage show featuring Diego, a host, and various animals with handlers; Diego-branded stamping stations at the animal exhibits; field journals that will be distributed to kids to customize as they learn about the animals; and integration of Diego into zoo marketing collateral and educational materials that are distributed to schools.

In addition, some of the animals within Amazon & Beyond will be those that are featured in Go, Diego, Go!, the network said.

The 27-acre tropical exhibit is set to open in late 2008. Prior to the opening of Amazon & Beyond, Diego’s temporary home will be the Commercebank Children's Zoo inside Miami MetroZoo, with special Nick Jr. programming and appearances.
