Spring Zoo Camp
What could be more fun during spring break holiday than hanging out
with the animals? Spring is a great time to visit the Zoo and learn

their imaginations and learn skills to find animal homes, track
animals and discover how plants and animals survive in the natural
world. These age-appropriate, engaging, down-in-the-dirt activities
provide a wonderful foundation for future learning and experience in
the great outdoors. Register at 225.775.3877 Option 2.
