Can't come to the Zoo, but you still want to learn first-hand about Zoo animals? Zoo staff and animals will come to you. Outreach programs give people of all ages a chance to increase their wildlife knowledge. Programs are available at your location. All programs include at least two small education animals. The animals presented in the program depend on topic and availability.

  • Preschool programs are 30 minutes. All other programs generally last 60 minutes.
  • Programs may be presented between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Evening and Saturday programs are presented by special request only.
  • A minimum group size of 10 is required.
  • There is no fee in Cuyahoga County or Hinckley Township. The out-of-the-county fee is $100 for one program, $150 for two program topics (if done back-to-back) and is payable one month before the program. This program will not travel more than 60 miles from the Zoo one way.
  • Zoo programs are not presented at outdoor fairs, picnics, festivals, block parties or residential homes.
