Kids & Family Programs

In addition to viewing, petting, and feeding our animals, the Randall Oaks Zoo offers unique programs for children of all ages. The goal of our Nature & Zoo programs is to educate and encourage children to participate in the preservation of our natural areas and the animals that live within them through hands-on projects and activities.

Please refer to the seasonal program guide or view the programs below for a complete list of programs.
