The Assiniboine Park Zoo hopes to be fully licensed soon.

Zoo official Laura Curtis says the Winnipeg attraction applied for a liquor licence for the entire grounds and hopes to have the new rules in place by the summer.

Curtis said the application is an effort to make it easier to host the many private events held at the zoo, which include weddings, receptions and private dinners.

When certain patrons get too looped, lets hope they stay on the paths.
