Zoo School serves children ages 6 to 12. Participants will have a unique opportunity to experience The Zoo with a Zoo educator by their side! These 45-minute programs offer children a chance to interact closely with a variety of zoo ambassador animals while also participating in The Zoo's two-time nationally-award-winning Kids Go Wild curriculum. Each session includes a STEAM activity that meets Massachusetts state education standards in literacy, science, math, engineering or art.
