It's About Caring

The new Kids' Zone is a bright, colorful environment designed for the way children learn: through touch, exploration and movement. Here, children can explore the Magical Movement area where they can climb and move in ways that mimic how animals move. The kids can then spy on live animals that move in very cool ways, such as wallabies, stingrays and millipedes.

In the Contact Junction area, kids can meet live animals up-close as they discover how we care for critters at the zoo.  They may have the opportunity to feed or groom the resident goats and sheep or  pet a guinea pig. Children ages 3-8 will especially enjoy Kids' Zone.

PARENTS!  Don't forget to bring a change of clothes and water-proof sandals so that the kids can have a ball in the dancing lilypad fountain (through Oct. 1 only).
