Zoo Patrol
Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo’s popular summer children’s program, Zoo Patrol, an exciting and unique summer program! Each day your child will explore a different area of the zoo and have a custom guided experience. Children spend much of the week outdoors, learning about the animals at the Zoo, their enrichment, and veterinary care through staff presentations that are designed to engage young audiences. There is also an emphasis on learning through play with Zoo-themed games and art-making activities that introduce children to scientific observation, tracking, and artifact identification.
Please be advised that Zoo Patrol registration for ages 7-10 is currently sold out.
