School Programs

School Programs are held at 10:00 a.m., 10:45 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday during the school calendar year and pre-registration is required. To register, call 397-3877. School Programs are 15 to 20 minutes depending upon the grade level and are $1 per person. These programs include live animals. Unless noted, all programs are available for Kindergarten to High School. These programs are correlated to state and national science standards. Programs are available on a first-come, first-reserved basis. Due to the fact that we use live animals, cancellations are required.
