This report is a snapshot
of our education efforts
here at the Zoo, rather
than an extensive list and
breadth of involvement.
Our education programs are as inspiring as they
are informational. It is our mission to spark a child’s
interest in science, conservation and the outdoors
through one-of-a-kind adventures that motivate
them to take positive action to protect wildlife and
the wild places they live.
From nurturing programs for preschoolers,
homeschool classes, animal encounters and
behind-the-scenes tours, to night hikes, scouting
adventures, sensory-friendly spaces for persons
with disabilities, and our unique and highly-rated
Zoo School, we make scientific learning engaging,
fun and hands-on. We’re fostering the next
generation of nature lovers.
Through the programs of the Education Department,
kids, teens and families not only learn more
about science, conservation and the outdoors,
but truly live it.
