On Site Educational Programs

This is an option if your group is too large for the field trip format or too small to make the field trip cost effective.

The on site educational programs include 6 animals of your choice (click on the planner button to see the animals available) and lasts about an hour.

There is a graduated fee scale based on the size of your group which is outlined in the planner as well.
