Looking for a fun, educational way for the kids to learn more about the Henry Vilas Zoo? Well this is the perfect oppurtunity! The Zoo is offering a program called the Outdoor Bleacher Program. Classes run for about 45 minutes, and in that time the kids learn about the animals through live animal presentations. The bleachers seat 150 people, and there is a request that each student donates $1.
Presentations run at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and noon from May through the end of the school year (early June).
Teachers must call ahead to schedule their class in the bleacher program. To schedule a bleacher presentation, please call the Zoo office at
(608) 266-4943.
It's still pretty early, but just a fun thought for an end of the school year trip for your kiddo's class!
If you're looking for a year round program that's lasts up to 90 minutes and is for Pre-schoolers all the way to highschoolers, then you want to sign up for the discover center program. They host specialized programs based on the age group with live animal presentations, a fun workbook for pre-schoolers to 5th grade/tour of the zoo for 6-12 grades. The Topics are always changing!
Call the Education Director at (608)266-5922 for more information.
Thanks!
