Outreach Programs – The Zoo Can Come to You

We can bring some of the Zoo to you at your community event!  We have several outreach 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.
