Field Trips & Homeschool Programs
A hands-on experience with live animals.
Want to bring the classroom outside? Our Animal Education Adventure Program is designed to meet Pennsylvania State Standards, making it easy to tie into science class back at school! Programs can be adjusted to fit all ages and group sizes.
