February School Vacation Week

Each day is its own unique session, so you can join us for one day, or all five! Each day will focus on a different theme and children will get the opportunity to see animals up-close while learning all about them. These sessions are offered to participants ages 6-9. Taught by Zoo educators, classes include hands-on activities, discussion, animal encounters and behind-the-scenes experiences. Each program includes progressive program topics focused on teaching students about animals and their interactions within their ecosystems.

Class Size and Safety Information:

Classes are limited to 20 participants and held indoors, with certain activities and zoo walks held outdoors. Please note, parent/guardian and unregistered friend/sibling attendance is not permitted.
