Education Programs

 

When to Schedule Educational Programs
    
We ask that you schedule your educational program at least two weeks prior to your preferred visit date. Scheduling begins in August for each school year. Programs fill up quickly in the spring. We suggest scheduling as soon as possible and planning trips during the fall and winter months. It is only possible to schedule one type of program per visit to the Zoo. 

Contact:  The Education Department at (316) 266-8213 Monday through Friday.  If you want to schedule a program you must reach the Education Department. If you must leave a message, please indicate the best time to reach you.

Confirmation: Soon after you schedule your program you will receive a confirmation packet which will include a confirmation of the date and time, payment form, and pre-visit instructions. Please check the letter carefully and call the Education Department if there are any problems or changes.  Due to tight schedules, programs will be canceled if groups are more than ten minutes late.  Groups that do not show up AND do not call a minimum of 30 minutes before the program is scheduled to begin will be charged a $10.00 service charge.  This will be invoiced to the school.

Parents with siblings are encouraged to enjoy the Zoo or wait in the foyer during the presentation.  For those parents with younger siblings who decide to join a program we ask that you be courteous and exit the program if the sibling becomes unruly or disruptive.
