Target Circle Gives Back
We are so excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a special charitable giving campaign, sponsored and funded by Target. And you can help direct a portion of Target's donation to us!

Now through March 31, vote for us through the Target Circle program to help determine how Target's donation will be divvied up. It's easy to do online and through the Target app.

As you earn more votes, you can keep voting multiple times during the campaign. Your votes and donations go toward supporting animal care, vet care, and operating expenses during our off-season.

Thank you for your support!
Homeschool Classes

Spring Homeschool Classes start on February 10.

Our Homeschool Class Series meets in the Tire Rack Education Center AEP Foundation STEM Classroom. The STEM-focused classes are designed to inspire students to get excited about animal conservation careers through animal encounters, games, crafts, and more! There are groups for 6-8 year olds and 9-12 year olds.

This class series, we'll spend four classes learning about the daily tasks of being a vet, and four classes learning about the responsibilities of zoo keepers.

Pricing is discounted for Zoo Members and for additional children.

Masks and social distancing are required. If you're feeling ill, please don't attend this event. Thank you for helping us keep the Zoo safe for everyone!
