An Animal Encounter is a short presentation which gives a quick introduction to ZOOAMERICA and allows a group to observe one animal, up close and personal. The group may then explore the Zoo at their leisure.

Outreach Programs can be presented off-site throughout the year. The programs include a discussion on a specific topic and a live animal demonstrations. An Outreach Program is a wonderful opportunity for classrooms, scout and church groups, camps, senior citizens and many other groups to experience a part of the Zoo at their own facility.

All Guided Tours, On-site Programs and Animal Encounters are offered to groups of 15 or more. They must be scheduled in advance and are offered during our regular operating hours.

Outreach Programs can be booked at any time of year and must be scheduled in advance.
