Description of Erie Zoo
Throughout the year, the Erie Zoo offers programs for individuals on different topics. Starting at 6 months, people of all ages can enjoy these classes. Touching Time teaches 6 month to 2 year olds and a parent how to properly touch and interact with animals. PreZooSchool, for 2 to 5 year olds, cover topics from animal mommies and daddies to specific types of animals, like lizards. For 6 to 12 year olds, ZooSchool consists of one-day classes about specific animals or habitats. PAWZZ (Purely Art With "Zooey" Zest) brings out the artist in your 6 to 12 year old. The art classes teach not only drawing techniques but also address other forms of art like mosaics and photography. During the summer, we offer different week-long summer zoo ventures for 4 to 12 year olds. These week-long summer zoo ventures on topics such as dinosaurs and zoo careers teach children songs, crafts and games. Our Teen Programs invite 11 to 18 year olds to become Junior Zookeepers and learn about zoo careers. Other teen programs have addressed animal behaviors and conservation. Families can enjoy programs together including overnights, family fun nights, and weekend programs throughout the year. For teachers, we offer Teacher Workshops which introduce teachers to the Zoo and provide them with information and activity ideas for teaching about life science topics. Teacher Workshops, Touching Time, PreZooSchool, ZooSchool, PAWZZ, Week-long Summer Zoo Ventures and Teen Programs are scheduled through our member newsletter, or by phoning the zoo office at 864-4091. We invite you to explore the education section and see what fits best for you or your group.
