Family Workshops

Family Workshops!

This Fall, the whole family can learn about our environment and the amazing animals that share our world. The zoo will be offering workshops that will cover specific animal groups.

All classes will be held on Saturdays or when schools are closed so that the whole family can attend together. Each class will last 2 hours and everyone will be able to create a craft project to take home. Workshops are $5.50 per person. Workshops will be mornings from 10:00am to 12:00 noon.
