Zoo New York is focused on “science-based natural & cultural experiences” as the driver for our conservation education. Our programs are designed to foster education through exploration and guided discovery for both groups and individuals. We endeavor to continually bring new and unique opportunities to our community by updating and customizing our programs. By doing this we aim to keep our program relevant and engaging for each and every visitor.
Sign up for our native species program, animal encounters, and guided tours with our zookeepers!
Zoo New York is proud to present Educational Programming that strives to meet Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We will work with teachers and educators to provide the best program for your group.
