Looking for a wild experience for your students? The North Carolina Zoo offers a variety of engaging educational programs for school groups even for those unable to visit the Zoo. These programs enrich student learning about animals, healthy habitats, and conservation. We offer programs for both classes (30 or less students) and assembly size programs (up to 200 students).
