Educating Over a Million Children in Ten Years!
|
|
|
|
Use children’s love of animals and natural curiosity about critters to teach them lessons in geography, math and science. Trained tour leaders will introduce your children to the characteristics of birds, reptiles, fish and animals from all over the world. Through all five senses trip participants will develop an understanding of:
- Proper care and respect for animals
- Diverse habitats
- Environmental issues and species survival

Every Tour Stop Becomes a Teaching Moment

|
|
|
Tour leaders will modify your 60-90 minute tour to correspond to your group’s level of comprehension and optimize this unique learning opportunity. After successfully completing the tour, each participant will become a certified Pet Parent.
