PRIMATE PAJAMA PARTY!
You and 14 of your closest friends are invited to a Primate Pajama Party! Have you ever wondered what our apes and monkeys do at night after the Zoo closes?  Book an overnight pajama party and get a whole new perspective of the Zoo.
This program offers your group an opportunity to sleep in the Primate World building, participate in enrichment activities and
get an in-depth look at the lives of primates around the world. We'll create our own art work for the gorillas and orangutans at
night and check out some other fun nocturnal animals that live here at the zoo! The Zoo provides a hearty dinner, an expert
Zoo guide, and a yummy breakfast in the morning!

Parties can accommodate groups of 10 to 15 people - minimum age is 7 years old.
Cost: per guest is $40 and a deposit of $25 is necessary to reserve a date.

Preschool Zoo Discovery Program Schedule - Ages 3-5

What a great way to introduce your youngster to the amazing animal kingdom! Your child and their favorite adult will learn about a variety of animals and topics through stories, crafts and experiences with our animal friends. Class sizes are kept small to ensure quality attention to each child. Minimum enrollment is eight children; maximum is 12. Please be aware that if a class session does not meet the minimum enrollment, it may be canceled. In order to keep distractions to a minimum, PLEASE inform the coordinator if siblings or non-preschool age children will be present. In some cases, you may need to make other arrangements for children not participating in the class.

COST: Varies with classes and member and non-member status. Costs include one child and one adult for each Discovery Program class.

PRESCHOOL PROGRAM DISCOUNT: Save $5 off every time you sign up for 2 or more sessions. The more you sign up for the more you save! (i.e. $5 off 2 sessions, $10 off 3 sessions, $15 off 4 sessions). This also includes signing up multiple children.  Payable in advance; no refunds for missed classes. All cancellations must be made at least seven days in advance. Discount available on Preschool Zoo Discovery Classes only.
