A field trip with STEM content customized to your learners’ ages and curriculum! Add a NEW Learning Safari Guided Tour or a popular STEM Investigations Classroom Program to your field trip registration and let our trained Zoo educators take your students on an educational journey they won’t soon forget!
If you are planning to bring lunches with you, you will want to register for a time to use our designated outdoor picnic area. Lunches will be collected from your group on entry and delivered to the school lunch area for use during your registered time. Lunch reservations go quickly, so be sure to sign up for your field trip and add a lunch reservation early! No other outside food is permitted in the Zoo, so take advantage of this option just for teachers and students. (Limited picnic space also is available outside the Zoo’s gates near the parking areas.)
Make your students’ dreams come to life with an overnight field trip to the Zoo!
The Zoo is a very different place after the sun goes down! Which animals are down for a snooze, and which ones want to stay up all night? Come explore how different animals spend their time in the dark and why nighttime is an important part of wild places. You might find some surprises along the way!
Can’t make it to the Zoo for an in-person field trip? Virtual Classroom Connect Sessions bring the Zoo live into your classroom instead!
Students can chat with a Zoo Educator using a virtual platform. Each session lasts 30 minutes. You can choose from a topic-based session or a Question & Answer session.
