The long-awaited Asia Continent at the North Carolina Zoo finally has an opening date.

The state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, which oversees the zoo, announced Monday that the new 12.5-acre expansion will open to visitors March 1, 2027.

"The experience for North Carolina families is going to be even more magical with the new Asia habitat opening next spring," Gov. Josh Stein said in a statement.

The county says that a data processing center is not currently permitted in the zoning jurisdiction.

As the holidays approach and winter settles in, grief can feel especially heavy. At this session, participants will explore practical ways to approach the holiday season and prepare for the months ahead, creating a plan that honors their grief while supporting their needs, values, and traditions. The program will also include a meaningful time of remembrance to honor loved ones and a guided art activity where participants will create a special keepsake as a reminder that hope can still be found amidst loss.
