Do you and your child love playing outdoors? This 5-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 will learn about a different animal at the Zoo. Sign up for Sunday or Wednesday classes. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Class is limited in size and will take place outdoors, so dress for the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your cancellation policy?
If you are unable to attend class, please let us know as soon as possible. If you miss a class, you can arrange to attend another class. If you cancel before the class date, you can receive a refund minus a small processing fee ($2 for one class or $5 for the entire session). If you must cancel after the class start date, no refund is guaranteed.
What is your weather policy?
Class may be postponed due to extreme weather at the Education Staff’s discretion.
My child is under two years old. Can I sign them up for this class?
Yes, your child under 2 is welcome to attend class. If they are over 1 year old and are mobile, they count as a class participant and require a child ticket.
Do I need to register adults?
Up to 2 adults per family can attend the program with the purchase of a child ticket. Due to limited space, if multiple child tickets are purchased, 2 adults can attend per group.
I have an infant who will be attending with their older sibling. Do I need to register them for class?
You are welcome to bring your infant with you to class. However, if they are over 1 year old and are mobile, they count as a class participant and require a child ticket. If your child is under 1 year old and in a stroller or carrier, they do not count as a participant and can attend for free.
