SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAMS

The Louisville Zoo will bring an educational program to your school. Through minds-on/hands-on classes, we will help your students experience the fascinating world of nature. Programs can be designed for pre-school through high school aged students.

A few animals will join our Zoo educators during the outreach to increase student participation and interest allowing for a special time of wonder and discovery. 

Choose one of the programs below or work with our MetaZoo Education staff to design a program to meet your needs. Classroom-sized groups only. No assemblies please.

TOPICS
