Zoo to You
A unique way to learn about and experience zoo animals at your school, organization or home.
Look, Listen, Touch…And Learn!
We believe hands-on experience with real, live subjects is the best the way to learn. That’s why, under the leadership of professional educator Anne Blenker, we have developed numerous unique educational programs, both at the zoo and off site, that are engaging as well as informative.
