Our ZooKids program at Franklin Park Zoo transforms curiosity into adventure!
We offer a variety of age-appropriate, themed education programs to inspire young children's curiosity and appreciation for wildlife and the natural world. Programs include up-close animal encounters, zoo exploration, games, crafts, and more.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have six legs? Can you imagine what the world looks like through the eyes of insect? During this ZooKids program, we'll learn all about creepy crawly critters, and what makes us similar and different!
