We have events and activities that extend beyond your daily visit and allow you to learn more about the Zoo you support and love.

You don't need kids to have a great time at the Zoo. In fact you will discover a whole new Zoo adventure. Adult programs are a great way to spend your first date or your 101st date.

^{Classes meet in the Cargill Learning Center unless otherwise noted. Space is limited; therefore pre-registration is required. Please contact Cargill Learning Center to reserve your place. Classes take place rain or shine. Please remember, for everyone's safety and enjoyment all class participants must meet age requirements.}

Join us in the Cargill Learning Center the first Monday of every month to learn about new tidbits at the Zoo! Various Zoo staff and docents will give us a little insight into the inner workings of the Zoo and what is happening. Sit down, relax, and have a cup of joe from our friends at Starbucks! This new, FREE program is geared towards adults but all ages are welcome. Advance registration is not required. Programs begin at 9:00 a.m.
