Classes for Children   

Children’s classes are designed for children to attend without adults. Classes include exploration of the zoo.

Ages: 5-7 years
Fee: $18 per child

Dragons!
Fire breathing, tail lashing, and hordes of gold! Dragons have been the focus (good and bad) in many stories around the world. Come and uncover various dragon myths, learn about the real reptilian animals that inspired those myths and meet and touch a live “dragon.”

Icky, Sticky and Slimy
Do you love things that other people think are icky? Then this class is for you! Join us to learn about slugs, bugs, snakes and other “yucky” creatures. Find out how important they are and what they might have in common.
