The Conservation ZooMobile is a hands-on experience that teaches learners of all ages about conservation issues, and invites them to help find solutions that they can implement in their own lives. Using an interactive "learning station" approach, one of our Education Specialists and a group of our specially-trained conservation docents will bring live zoo animals and other fun and engaging interactive activities, biofacts, and even a portable rainforest to engage participants, ages three - adulthood. The Conservation ZooMobile travels throughout the Bay Area and can take place in a library, classroom, or multi-use room at your school.

Dates: Wednesdays.
Program Times: Start times vary by distance from the Zoo.
Zone Fees: Additional Zone Fees may apply to your location.
Animals: Participants will be allowed to touch the animals if the total number of participants does not exceed 35. Children 3 and younger are required to have adult assistance when touching the animals.
