Family Programs

Families of all ages can enjoy the Minnesota Zoo by participating in one of our many fun learning programs. From toddler and preschool classes to camps for older children we reach all ages including moms and dads. Through animal visitors, crafts, unique activities and special tours of the Zoo your children will learn about animals and the natural world while having fun. They’ll go home full of great knowledge to share with others. Please call our education office at 952-431-9320 if you have any questions. We hope to see you soon!.

ZooCamp provides lively lessons about animals and ecosystems throughout the summer, fall and winter. Behind-the-Scenes tours and
preschool classes are offered year-round. Scout and family groups can take classes and even spend the night at the Zoo- either next to dolphins and sharks in Discovery Bay, in the Minnesota Trail Lodge or the Wells Fargo Family Farm. Click on the program to learn more!
