Class is offered on both Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate adult schedules. Docents are the educational and interpretive voices of the Zoo. They enable the Zoo to reach wider audiences, communicate on an individual level, provide special programs and further its mission. Each docent will have the opportunity to get to know the Oakland Zoo and its animals intimately and to share knowledge with visitors, including families, children, tour groups and the community. Weekly classes are held on Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm in zoo classrooms, or on zoo grounds.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
The award-winning Oakland Zoo is home to over 300 native and exotic animals. Nestled in the Oakland Hills, in 525 acre Knowland Park, this scenic zoo is located at 9777 Golf Links Road, off Highway 580.
