About our Programming
Calling all homeschool parents and children! Looking for a creative learning opportunity? Love animals and conservation? Visit the Lehigh Valley Zoo during Homeschool Thursdays in October (10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29) for your student to participate in the special educational experience our educators present to school groups throughout the year. Tickets to either our Zoo Tour or Animal Kingdom Presentation include daytime zoo admission and must be purchased in advance -- so make sure to reserve your spot(s) today! Those wishing to attend both activities will have to purchase additional tickets.
Activity #1: Zoo Tour (10:30-11:30 a.m.)
Discover wildlife like never before with a Zoo Tour where visitors and students learn about the adaptations, habitats, behaviors, and conservation statuses of resident animals. This professionally-guided tour with an education staff member will be available from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and limited to the first 60 reservations for each date.
Activity #2: Animal Kingdom Presentation (1-1:30 p.m.)
Want an up-close animal experience? Sign up for our Animal Kingdom Presentation designed to give students an up-close encounter with zoo educational animals and learn about their adaptations, behaviors, and the differences between species. The AK presentation is scheduled for 1-1:30 p.m. and is limited to the first 60 reservations for each date.
Both of these engaging multi-sensory experiences incorporate Common Core Standards, Pennsylvania Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content, and science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM).
Note to Parents/Guardians
You may indeed attend these activities with your child; of course, a separate Homeschool ticket is required.
