Can't bring your class out to the Zoo? Why not let the Zoo come to YOU!

Each Zoo to You presentation is jam-packed with FUN!  The interactive lessons will include hands-on activities with bio-facts and an introduction to three live animals.  Although themes vary, emphasis will be placed on conservation.  Each Zoo to You presentation is adaptable to any age group.  While there is no minimum or maximum number of students, the ideal class size is 35 people or less.  Pricing is based on the location’s distance from the Zoo.

This 30 minute onsite presentation provides students the opportunity to meet two live animals, while exploring a conservation-based theme.

What is the difference between a toad and a frog? Are we predators, or are we prey? How does our behavior in Kansas affect animals in Africa? These are the types of questions this program will answer. These classes are a great addition to school field trips. The class is $40. Additional classes can be scheduled for the same day at $25 per class. 30 person limit.
