There are six classes that we conduct on the zoo grounds for adults 21 years or older, that will give you all the necessary information you need to know to handle the education animals and to give a good presentation to the public. If that isn't your 'bag', we have other areas like the Wild Side Gift Shop that needs help or stroll our beautiful grounds and just talk to people. The next docent education classes will begin in September. The Explorers undertake a variety of tasks, and there is something of interest for everyone. They also help out at zoo camp.
More experienced explorers help the zookeepers feed and care for the animals.
They run carnival games, sell food and drinks, show the educational animals, and answer visitor questions. Chances are the person inside a costumed character at the zoo is an Explorer. Being an Explorer is an exciting, fun, and educational experience of a lifetime.
