Endangered Species:

This entire evening is designed to explain why these special animals are disappearing, and what you can do to help them.

Zoo Career:

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to work at a Zoo? During this tour, your leader will discuss different zoo careers, what it's like to run a zoo, and how we care for many of our animals.  Participants might also get a chance to meet one of our zoo keepers or help make some special treats for some of our animals here at CMZ!  Interactions with keepers are subject to availability and season - please call for more details.
