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.
Soar, waddle, dive, swoop - birds can move in some unique ways! During this ZooKids program, we will be getting our bodies moving and grooving as we learn all about our feathered friends and how they move! This program is intended for any toddler or preschooler who is eager to get their zoomies out at the zoo!
Please note: This program is for ages 2-4 and each participant must have an accompanying adult present. Also, be sure to come dressed for the elements as we will be spending time walking around zoo grounds!
