Each fall Woodland Park Zoo offers Homeschool Days opportunities. Homeschool students and parents are invited to the zoo for a day of hands-on workshops and activities. There are self-directed discovery stations, structured learning opportunities for various ages, and self-guided exploration of zoo grounds.
There are no Homeschool Days scheduled at this time. Dates for fall Homeschool Days will be posted by June 15.
