Cleveland Metroparks Zoo offers something for the whole community, but we have lots of programs geared specifically for teachers and their students:

• Reinforce classroom lessons in a fun, motivating atmosphere
• Utilize activities based on the Ohio Academic Content Standards to plan a memorable, educational field trip
• Brush up on your own science skills
• Or simply fuel your personal love of wildlife and wild places

Our teacher pages will help you find out how. Please check back often for updates and new program availability.
