Join us for our early childhood education toddler program!
Hatchlings is a hands-on play and exploration time just for 2-4 year olds and an accompanying adult. During this 60-minute program we will sing songs, explore our senses, visit animal friends, and have a yummy snack! Meet new human friends to explore the Zoo with afterwards!
Each program starts at 11 a.m. and will run for approximately an hour and include a combination of games, crafts, story time, sing-a-longs, and animal friend visits. These programs are specifically designed to promote hands-on, self-guided play and exploration.
Program price includes admission into the Zoo for a child and an adult, a snack, and activities.
- General price – $15

- Additional child – $5
(No more than 2 children per adult)
