Do you and your child love playing outdoors? This multi-week series allows children aged 2 to 5 and their guardians to make discoveries outdoors together. Each 45-minute class includes nature-based, child-directed activities, singing, and a storybook. Each week we will learn about a different animal at the Zoo. Sign up for Sunday or Wednesday classes. Programs within the same week will cover the same topic/animal.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Due to limited space, a maximum of 2 adults can attend class per family. Class is limited in size and will take place outdoors, so dress for the weather.
Ticket Fee: $15 per child for each class.
