also abundant.

What happens at a Giraffe feeding?
Each
student receives 2 special crackers to feed to
the Giraffe under a keeper's supervision. The
keeper will tell students about giraffes and answer
any questions. Students will not be able to pet
the giraffes, and must feed the crackers at the
platform at the scheduled time.

What is an Education Program?
Programs
are 20 minutes long and involve 4 live animals
and a variety of artifacts. All programs have
a theme, which is chosen by the teacher, and enables
the student to encounter some animals. For safety,
each program is limited up to 35 participants
only. Programs fill up quickly in the spring,
so register early!

Why can't I pet the animals?
These
are wild animals. They can bite. Barriers are
in place for this reason, so we ask that for your
safety and security and the safety of the animals,
you follow the zoo rules. Remain on the sidewalks
and do not try to pet or feed the animals, unless
feeding and touching are part of a supervised
program.
