Overview
Early learners: join the zoo’s play assistants for hands-on nature play activities at Farm-in-the-Zoo! From sorting pinecones to digging in smooth seeds, children will explore the sights, smells, and textures that nature has to offer during this fun, open-ended experience. They will take in a tall tale at story time, get messy at the process art station, and sift and scoop at the sensory bin.
