2019 Summer Zoo Camps Registration
More camps than ever before!
NEW for 2019! Feed our new baby giraffes, roar with tigers, and climb with spider monkeys in our new areas!
Each day campers go behind-the-scenes, learn from real zookeepers and meet some of their favorite animals. Zoo Camps are led by skilled instructors who will guide your child through interactive learning opportunities and educational activities.
Camps are separated into different age groups, dates, times and topics. Register for a Morning and Afternoon session during the same week to make it a Full Day camp.
Last year over 1,900 children participated in Summer Zoo Camps.
Camps may sell out. Early registration is recommended.
The only camp where you can...
