Education Stations (All Ages)
When you visit the zoo, you can often expect to see our informative
Education Station carts set up throughout the zoo. Here, families
can learn about some of our animals in a more hands-on way,
including informative talks from our docents, handling bio facts and
models, and viewing informative graphics. We are currently featuring
stations with information on primates, big cats, Madagascar and
raptors.
