Embark on an exciting journey with our team of enthusiastic Zoo educators! In our small-group courses, homeschool students are not just learners; they are adventurers diving into the fascinating realms of science and conservation. Picture interactive lessons where curiosity leads the way, thrilling animal encounters that bring lessons to life, and boundless opportunities for discovery.

We offer classes elementary classes (ages 5-12) and teen classes (ages 13-15).

Zoo Teen Programs offer a chance for teens to engage in meaningful volunteer work and events. Teens volunteer once a month on assigned weekends, from 9 am to 3 pm, with split shifts in the morning and afternoon. They participate in educational outreach, fundraising for conservation, caring for animal ambassadors, assisting with Barnyard duties, supporting summer and winter camps, and helping with special events. The Summer VolunTEEN Program, running from May to early August, requires a 10-day minimum commitment and provides opportunities to engage guests, assist with camps, and work with Zoo Teen volunteers.

Open to ages 13-18.

We believe everyone has the right to experience the Zoo and the great outdoors, regardless of ability. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing an accessible experience for all our guests. In May 2017, we opened the Exceptional Nature Space, a unique, behind-the-scenes natural play area that offers an authentic outdoor experience. This modified natural habitat is safe, stimulating, and designed to adapt to the unique needs of children with various exceptionalities. Within this thoughtfully curated space, kids can freely explore an authentic Florida habitat, engage in open-ended nature play, experiment, socialize, and learn by doing. As a pioneering “living laboratory,” we continuously improve through feedback from parents, staff, and children. Amenities include loose parts for building, mud paint, and a mud kitchen.
