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.
