Come fly with us in a hands-on, outdoor, nature play experience! Explore the wooded areas of the zoo while learning about local birds and building nests. Program includes a guided walk on less-traveled paths of the zoo and time for open exploration and play in nature. If you'd like a classroom encounter with ambassador animals, make sure to add on an Animal Discovery program!

This program was co-developed with our Teacher Advisory Council, including teachers from D75 schools. Approved for Budding Scientist program FY19.
