EdZOOcation
EdZOOcation provides a unique opportunity for children to learn more
about the animals at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. Programming provides
the opportunity for kids to meet keepers, see animals up close and participate in related crafts and activities. Programs are designed for
three age groups: 3-5 (with parents), 6-7 and 8-9.
Roars & Snores
Don't miss the unique opportunity to experience first hand what happens at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo after hours! When the last visitor leaves for the day and the sun goes down, you can hear the Roars and Snores of the animals as they get ready for the nighttime. So grab your pajamas and sleeping bag, and get ready for a "wild" night! Any group or organization can schedule an overnight, including scouts, religious organizations, school groups and more.
Camps
We're pleased to offer half and full day sessions during winter break, spring break, summer and the day after Thanksgiving. Zoo Camp is for kids in Kindergarten through 6th grade.
