After the camera, sunscreen, and snacks what is the next most
important item to bring to the zoo? Give up? The answer is a Pen!
Our dedicated education staff has created several fun activities
you can do at the zoo and all you need to bring is a pen. Once you
get to the zoo visit the zoo's education kiosk where you can pick up
fun activity pages that can be completed during your zoo visit. You
can also print off any of the pages from home by clicking on the
links in the box to the left.
One of the most popular activities is the NEW zoo scavenger hunt.
To complete this activity grab one of the scavenger hunt pages from
inside the kiosk or print a copy from home. Then, run around and
have fun finding the answers to all the questions on signs posted
around the zoo. Beware, some questions require you take a good look
at the signs, while other questions are easier to discover the
answer to.
If you are seeking an adventure at the zoo you may want to try
our non-zoo animal check off list. This activity requires you to
search for and I.D. animals that are not zoo residents. These
animals are wild and therefore do not have a zoo exhibit but they
have been spotted on zoo grounds. Some of these animals are very
common at the zoo and are easily spotted while others can be seen at
the zoo only during certain seasons. If you are lucky and
search hard hopefully you will be able to check off most the animals
on the non-zoo animal check off page. There is also a spot on the
zoo kiosk to help you identify some of the non-zoo animals. You may
also ask the keeper or any of the zoo volunteers for help on
identifying any of these animals. Check off lists can be found at
the zoo education kiosk or printed off from the box in the upper
left corner of this page.
If you are an artist, we encourage you to print off one of our
favorite animal coloring pages. Draw your favorite animal on the page and
return the page to the zoo kiosk. Then check back often to see your
art work displayed within the zoo kiosk. Pages can be printed from
the box above.
Wildwood Zoo Activity pages can also be found within the zoo
kiosk. For the answers to the activity page please see the ed-zoo-cation
webpage.
