The Greenville Zoo’s Education Department offers lively hands-on programs sure
to engage your children.
Zoo Tots
Zoo Tots is designed for one parent and their toddler (ages two and three) and
provides an opportunity to discover the fascinating world of animals. Classes
are held in the Conservation Station and combine "on your own explore time" with
a more structured "animal time." Snack and arts and craft time are also
included. Programs are limited to 14 children and fill quickly, so register
early!
Program Costs: $15 for Zoo Members; $25 for Non Members

Please note that Zoo Tots is designed for one parent and one toddler only.
Siblings can be a distraction to other participants and the program.
