BRING THE ZOO TO YOU
Bring zoo animals to your group with our ‘Zoo to You’ outreach programs!
We travel Wednesday – Friday (10 a.m. – 1 p.m.) to public venues within Dane County (some restrictions apply). Learn about our Education Animals and meet them up close! This is a great option for senior centers, nursing homes, grade-level school assemblies, after-school clubs, scout groups, community festivals, and grown-up clubs too!
A presentation up to one hour long is $150, and features live animals and educational content shaped by Next Generation Science Standards. Choose from a variety of themes to fit your age group and area of interest. Read descriptions of our themes here.
Assembly programs to larger groups, and program locations farther from Henry Vilas Zoo have an additional cost.
Please allow a minimum of two weeks advance notice for scheduling.
