Family & Group Programs

We provide unique and fun learning opportunities for non-school groups and  organizations through our Ed-Zoo-Cation programs.

Bring North Carolina Zoo Educators to your library this summer!  As always, the program is designed to excite and inspire children of all ages about the wonders of our natural world.

Experience the Zoo at our overnight family (for families with children aged 6-18) and adult-only (18+) camping adventures.  

Bring a zoo animal virtually to your classroom, business or family event.

Are you missing your North Carolina Zoo fieldtrip this year? Don't worry we are bringing many of our education programs right into your home.

A live Facebook series with fun, educational presentations about animals and nature every Wednesday at 10 a.m. EST.

Register for an exciting program to learn about Zoo jobs, offered to high school and college age students. 

Nature Rocks is a program for families to explore nature at various sites near the Zoo and it also provides opportunities to engage in Citizen Science.

Dig out your craft paper and glue. It is time to make something new. On Wednesdays, we will bring you a new craft or activity inspired by Zoo EDventures. Watch the live episodes on Facebook and then make the craft.
