Children's Zoo
Children's Zoo petting area
©WCS/J.Maher | Pop up in a prairie dog town, sit in a bird’s nest, and climb into a turtle shell! This cozy, three-acre setting is a fantasy for young explorers. Generations of young zoo-goers have visited the Children’s Zoo to experience firsthand various types of animal homes, locomotions, senses, and defenses. Little ones can dash out of trouble like lizards on tree slides, or warn off danger by releasing a whiff of stinky skunk. They’ll hop like wallabies and scuttle like spiders. They can also feed handfuls of grain to goats, sheep, and llamas at the barn area.
As you and your children wander through a marsh, a woodland edge, a desert, and a forest, you’ll encounter many of their favorite storybook creatures. By watching snakes snack on crickets or night herons build stick-nests, kids who love snack time or playing with building blocks can see that they are part of the animal world.
On your way out, take home a keepsake of your Children’s Zoo visit by posing with an animal at our photo booth!
Exhibit open March 22–November 2
Special exhibit fee: $3.00 (Admission to the Children's Zoo is included in our Pay-One-Price ticket).
