FrogWatch USA Volunteer Training
April 23 | 6 – 9 PM
Here’s your chance to become a citizen scientist!
Frogs are indicator species, and their populations are among the first to decline when environmental conditions take a turn for the worse. FrogWatch USA is a nationwide program facilitated by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that relies on data from members of the community to assess the conservation status of native amphibians.
A network of trained volunteers submit their findings to a database that helps ecologists determine which species are where and develop effective conservation strategies.
During this training, you’ll learn the skills needed to be a contributing volunteer of the program.
Ages 7 and up may participate in the training with an adult.

Sensory Programs
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. We created our 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.
