FALCONERS August 2025 Potter Park Zoo

Once you press register - please fill out ALL questions on the next page. Please refrain from exiting out of EventBrite before doing so. The questions are important and allow us to make this the best experience possible for you.

FALCONERS is designed to allow children or adults of all ages with special needs and unique challenges (such as autism or developmental disabilities) and their whole family to have an enriching educational experience in a safe, welcoming and sensory friendly environment.

By registering you can come in anytime between 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM. All activities will end at 8:00 PM. The zoo will not be open to the public at this time. However, those that were in the zoo before we closed at 5:00 pm, have until 6:00 pm to leave. This is usually very few people.

Please note: Savanna Grill and Gift Shop will be closed.

There will be a couple of activities, a craft and snacks as usual. The activities and crafts will be created by our intern, Brie! Please be in the zoo early enough to walk through the zoo to reach all of the activities... If you plan to do them. Specific details will be sent out a week before the event to those that register. Activities are planned to be outdoors.
