It’s furry...it's scaly...it’s cool! You never know what you’re going to see during an Animal Encounter—but you can be sure it will be exciting and educational! These live animal presentations happen each Saturday and Sunday at 11:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. starting on our annual Earth Day event through our annual Halloween event, Boo at the Zoo. Presentations are weather dependent. Times vary from season to season, so please check the list of events below for details. All shows are free with Zoo admission.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wildlife Assembly Programs are fully booked for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year. Meet some of our Education animals up close! This live, interactive animal presentation takes place in our outdoor Wildlife Theater. After the program, groups are welcome to explore the Zoo until their departure. This program is great for large groups with multiple classes and multiple age ranges.
