Bring the zoo to you!
Zoomobile programs bring live animals into your facility! These fun and educational programs can visit classrooms, libraries, senior centers or living facilities, scout meetings, or anywhere that would like to experience the wonders of nature first hand.
Zoomobile programs are currently suspended for the safety of our staff and animals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Program Types:
Animal Presentation
The classic Zoomobile program! Whether you are a school, preschool, daycare, senior living center, library, or any facility that wants animal visitors, this is the program for you. This is a 45-60 minute long presentation featuring visits from three of our live Animal Ambassadors. Choose from a program topic below to focus the discussion on a particular animal theme, many of which help meet Next Generation Science Standard Benchmarks.
Fair and Festivals (Booth Style)
If you are planning a large scale event, where visitors will be coming and going frequently or freely moving around an exhibition space, this is the program for you! This program will bring 1 live animal for each hour you book, up to three hours. This is casual meet and greet style is always a hit with visitors! Plus, we will bring a table display of animal artifacts to make our space all the more wild.
