Jr. ZooKeeper Program

Activities are offered on the second Saturday of every month. This month we've scheduled:

November 14--11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Leaping Lizards!
Learn how keepers care for three different types of lizards. Design a lizard exhibit, touch a lizard, and earn your lizard pin!

As a Jr. Keeper, each activity will focus on a different topic and lasts about 90 minutes. Participants will receive a pin at the end to add to their badge. Jr. Keepers are supervised by Zoo education staff during these events. Collect as many pins as you can! Activities may include: 

--Enrichment Workshops (making toys/treats for the animals)
--Assisting with conservation projects
--Special animal talks
--Treasure hunts in the Zoo
--Behind the scenes tours
--Crafts and Games
--Much more! 

How do I get started?
