Feed the animals at Brookfield Zoo

And you thought your Thanksgiving table was a zoo! Before you tuck into your turkey and stuffing, do a good-and uncommon-deed. Families can help Brookfield Zoo keepers feed some of the Children’s Zoo animals, including goats, cows, horses and llamas. Then watch as the not-so-tame beasts nosh on zookeeper-provided treats. Even without marshmallow-topped yams on the menu, these creatures will still gobble it right up. Free with zoo and Children’s Zoo admission. Call for times. Nov. 24. 31st Street and First Avenue, Brookfield. (708) 688-8000, czs.org
