Preschool Zoo

Adult + child (ages 3-5)
Get to know some of our Zoo Boise animals better in this series of programs designed for adults & preschoolers. Each week features a different animal. Activities are designed to be multi-sensory and include mini zoo tours, movement activities, listening to stories, crafts, touching artifacts, and meeting live animals. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the nature of this program, children that are not between the ages of 3-5 cannot be accommodated.
Class Size: Minimum 10, Maximum 20
