Did you ever wonder what a great horn owl feather feels like? Or
what our grizzly bear eats? Or maybe which toys the Canada lynx likes
to play with?
Our dedicated education staff can answer these and many other
questions you may have. So check us out and learn about the
wonderful animals living at Wildwood Zoo!
Wildwood zoo offers ed-ZOO-cational
talks during the summer where you can learn about our animal's
diets and their enrichment. What is enrichment you may ask-it's a
program where we give our animals special treats and toys to play
with to keep them occupied and to bring out their natural behaviors!
Our animals are always doing new and exciting things during the
talks so the talks are always unique!
We also offer fun and exciting Wild
Wednesday Programs every Wednesday during the summer. At these
programs you can meet and learn about several different kinds of animals that
are visiting the zoo for the day.
The zoo's Education Kiosk is filled with information about the
zoo, the zoo animals, and the non-zoo animals! There are fun
activities for the whole family found at the kiosk. Some of the
activities include a zoo scavenger hunt, non-zoo animal check off
lists, and favorite animal coloring pages. The kiosk is also where
you can "meet" some of the zoo animals by learning all
about them. To learn more about each activity visit the zoo
education kiosk page.
And if these exciting programs weren't enough we also have a
large collection of animal artifacts called "Biofacts"
that we display and teach about in the education pavilion during the
summer. You never know when we will be out there with the Biofacts,
so check back often or you just might miss it!
