Ball Python
Due to heat sensing pits located along the upper jaw, ball pythons can easily find prey in complete darkness. The pits open at different angles which allows the snake to tell what direction warmth is coming from.
NOTICE: All summer zoo camp registration is postponed until after May 1.
Please check for updates at our dedicated education events site, syracusezooevents.org/education.
Registration
Reservations are required for all programs. There is limited space in each program so please register early. A minimum number of registrants is required to run a program.
Winter Weather Policy
All education programs, including Edventure Academy, camps and evening programs will run as scheduled unless the zoo has been closed by order of Onondaga County. Sorry, but no refunds or rain checks will be given for 'no-shows' for any reason.
Special Group Programs
Scout groups, Rotary, home school... if you belong to or are active in any of these or other groups and would like to arrange a custom educational program on a specific topic, call the zoo's education department. We will work with your group to design a special program to meet your needs.
For questions about on-site programs during a field trip to the zoo, family and adult programs, or for off-site Zoo to You programs, call (315) 435-8511 x8559 or email education@rosamondgiffordzoo.org.
Fees, times and availability depend on the program content, duration and materials needed. When considering such a program, please plan at least 6 weeks in advance.
