Youth Groups

Schools

The zoo offers a living laboratory for lifelong learning at any age!  Plan to bring your group to the zoo for a dynamic, engaging field trip.  Add a custom program to suit your group’s academic and experiential needs. With a wide variety of experiences available, a trip to the zoo is guaranteed to meet your academic, as well as your student’s expectations for FUN.


Scouts

Scout it out at the Zoo!  Let us take your Scouts through a zoo adventure that only we can do to earn their merit badges, journeys, & adventures. Choose from one of our established scouting programs or work with us to create a custom experience for your troop or pack! Call us to discuss our program options!

Scout Zoobilee!

2022 Scout info TBD – Check back soon!

Scouts and their troop can enjoy the zoo and experiences hosted just for them, including interpretive programs, animal encounters, zookeeper chats, and interactive activities. Scouts will gather insightful learning experiences that can be built upon to accomplish future badges. Scouts will also receive an adventure passport to complete throughout the visit.  Scouts are asked to wear troop and level identification for the event.
