Edzoocation Programs & Tours
Edzoocation Programs are 30-minute programs that incorporate animal ambassadors, biofacts, and multimedia to teach students about a variety of topics. Edzoocation Tours integrate classroom learning and real-world applications with the ones who know it best! Learn about the region’s wildlife and see animals in their habitats up close on these 45-minute to 1 hour guided tours of a specific zoo area.
Zoo To You Programs
Zoo-To-You Programs are 45-minute presentations from a zoo educator and some of our popular animal ambassadors. Animal ambassadors may include birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and small mammals. Sorry, the zebra won’t fit in the van! These programs are a great supplement to your school curriculum, after-school program, scout meeting, summer camp, community programs, and more.
Workshops & Sleepovers
Our workshop and sleepover programs are an excellent choice for any organization looking for an exciting educational experience. Our education team is trained in providing programming for all ages and will conduct a guided your of the zoo and live animal presentation.
