Zoocation is OPEN!


THE SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM WITH A DIFFERENCE!

During a fun-filled day, children will get up close and personal with many of the zoo’s animals, play games, make toys for the animals, and learn something along the way. Staffed and developed by the experienced Education Guides of the National Zoo and Aquarium, this program prides itself on delivering a program like no other.

Zoocation groups are of mixed ages so we can keep siblings and friends together (if desired). Booking into the correct age range is still important as we follow strict staff to student ratios. It also helps us keep an extra close eye on your young Zoocationers as they spend the day exploring the zoo!

Daily Details

Themes are repeated on different days between weeks (see theme outline in photos for dates).

Drop off is between 9:00am - 9:15am and pick up is recommended at 4pm. After program supervision runs from 3:30pm-5pm. Please note a $50 late pick up fee applies after 5pm.

You will be required to sign your child in and out each day and fill out our online indemnity form on behalf of your child. A link to the indemnity form will be sent with your order confirmation.

Zoocation is nut aware and we ask that participants not bring nuts in with them. However many zoo animals eat nuts as part of their diet, so shells and traces may be present on zoo grounds. 

Due to animals being involved in our program, we are not eligible for the CCR.

What to bring

  • A packed lunch & snacks (and/or place a lunch order during booking or at drop off)

  • A water bottle as Zoocation is an outdoor program

  • Wet weather gear in case of rain

  • Hat

  • Enclosed shoes

  • Back Pack
