Learn more about animals in new and exciting ways!  Choose from one of two programs offered:

  1. “What Zoos Do!” Our animal care specialists turn into game show hosts to teach students about what zoos do to help animals...and what kids can do to help as well!
  2. “Habitat Heroes!” Want to meet animal heroes from different regions of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium?  This program will introduce you to what each Zoo habitat has to offer along with memorable information about the animals that live in them.

Both interactive programs feature 5-7 animal ambassadors and focuses on conservation, sustainability, best practices in animal care and welfare, and most importantly...the value of connection between people and animals.
