 Be the scientist as you explore the world of animals at the Buffalo Zoo! Our new summer program format investigates the animal world by exploring topics like animal behavior, behavioral enrichment, animal training, animal healthcare, wildlife conservation, animal careers and more. Don’t just read about the fun side of animal careers, live it! You get to participate in hands-on activities, get a peek behind the scenes at the Zoo, and even handle and touch live animals!
Join us for three weeks during the summer every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. We will be offering the same program twice during the summer so you can plan around your summer vacation and you won’t miss a thing! Program is limited to 20 participants per session.
