Onsite EdZOOcation Programs

During our 30 minute on-site EdZOOcation programs, groups gather in our classroom to learn about wildlife biology and ecology through up-close encounters with our Animal Ambassadors.

Zoo New York is proud to present Educational Programming that meets New York State curriculum standards. The Zoo currently offers 2 age-specific program options for both on-site and off-site EdZOOcation bookings.


Our program options may be adapted for all age groups and are limited to participation by no more than 25 individuals per session.

BRIM Birds, Reptiles, Invertebrates, and Mammals (PreK-2nd)

Join us on a journey of comparisons as we travel through the animal kingdom.  In BRIM we will investigate the four characteristics thermoregulation, fur/scales, eggs/live birth, and parenting style. Meet a couple animal ambassadors and explore their natural history. 

Wild Wonders (grades 3-5)

An interactive program that introduces children to the wonderful world of wildlife. The Wild Wonders program includes educational presentations with discussions about species characteristics, natural behaviors, and how we are all connected through the balance of ecosystems. There are opportunities for Q/A and the program concludes with the opportunity for participants to create lasting memories through direct connection with our Animal Ambassadors.
