Member Exclusive: Toddler Tuesday

May 9 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Toddler Tuesday continues its Amazing Adventure through the Alphabet! From awesome amphibians to slithering snakes, join us to learn about the wild side of the ABCs. Each month, we will investigate a new letter and find out how it fits into the animal kingdom. With interactive activities, sing-a-longs, story time, and exclusive animal mingles, our youngest Zoo Members will discover nature in a whole new way!

May’s theme is Jump for Joy with Kind Letters “J” and “K” and will celebrate Endangered Species Day by journeying to Australia to meet jumping kangaroos and jubilant koalas!

While children of all ages are welcome to attend, Toddler Tuesday combines animal experiences with specialized programming for kids ages 2 to 6. Guests will be encouraged to socially distance with marked seating. Masks will be required for all guests except children ages 2 and under.

Toddler Tuesday is a Members-Only limited-capacity event, and attendance is first come, first served.
