For the school year 2021-2022, Oakland Zoo is currently accepting reservation requests for school field trips including education programming. Zoo to Community support for transportation is available to Title 1 schools on a first come first serve basis depending on dates requested. To reserve a field trip and request Zoo to Community support, please complete this form and our staff will contact you to confirm details.
Launched in 2006, the project was conceived in response to the need for improved science literacy and outdoor education experiences, and to encourage students to pursue an interest in veterinary, biological, ecological, and conservation sciences.
By removing barriers to participation through free programs and bus transportation, we are able to reach thousands of students through the Zoo-to-Community program.
If you have any questions about the Zoo-to-Community application please contact education@oaklandzoo.org.
