Educational Experiences

Our Education team provides engaging programs and experiences to connect people to the natural world.  We are eager to introduce all of the amazing natural wonders of the plant and animal world, and how people can strive to share this planet we all call home.

We offer something for everyone. Try our structured school or scout programs, the Zoolittles preschool series, or enroll in our unique summer camps.  Those that want to further nurture their nature can even join a Docent or ZooTeen volunteer group. Experience the zoo your way!

The Zoo Can Come to You

We can bring some of the Zoo to you at your community event!  We have several programs that can travel out in the community for festivals, events, or meetings for your community, civic, or college group. They can be customized to fit your group’s needs, and involve encounters with our traveling live animal ambassadors.
