Naturally Learning

Give your students an unforgettable day at Brevard Zoo, where learning comes to life in nature! Our field trips offer a unique blend of exploration and hands-on experiences that promote physical health, enhance mental well-being, and reduce stress. As students observe and interact with the natural world, they develop environmental awareness, a sense of stewardship, and social skills through cooperative activities. Learning at the Zoo is a one-of-a-kind experience that fosters curiosity and a deep connection to the environment, setting the stage for lifelong learning and appreciation of wildlife.
