Zoo To You - Animals for Parties in Oklahoma

THE TIGER SAFARI ZOO OUTREACH PROGRAM CAN BE FOR EVERYONE!

"Zoo to You" Traveling education program that visits you!

Zoo to You is a traveling, inquiry-based educational program that visits schools, libraries, community centers, senior centers/facilities, day care centers, scout groups, etc. Zoo to You's goal is to increase awareness of the animal kingdom and encourage the participants to be environmentally conscious. Each program includes live animals such as birds, reptiles, and invertebrates, among others, and some of the animals may be touchable. We also use biofacts (animal-related artifacts) to create a hands-on experience for the participants. All Zoo to You programs are presented by professional zoo educators.

• What subject matter does Zoo to You teach?

Zoo to You offers programs on a variety of topics. Sample subject areas include adaptations, habitats and endangered species. Our programs are designed for specified age groups and grades according to the New York State Learning Standards. We have programs available for ages three through adult. Zoo to You is not suitable for children under the age of three. Please see our list for specific program details at bottom. Also, please note that most program themes can be adapted to suit both older and younger aged students. We can also design a program to your specific topic needs or on subject matter not included on our curriculum list. Simply mention your request when you reserve your 'Zoo to You' program and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

• How many individuals may attend a Zoo to You program?

Programs are designed to foster hands-on, interactive learning. To facilitate this, we recommend that you reserve small group programs (fewer than 30 participants) for your group. We are happy to conduct consecutive programs for several small groups as well. If your group's schedule requires one large group, auditorium style presentation, we offer those also. If you are planning a group visit to the zoo, we can conduct your Zoo to You program right here in our classrooms!

This is a new type of program that Zoo to You can do for your organization. It involves our bringing 6-8 live animals to an exhibit table at your event. We will also bring biofacts (animal-related artifacts) and can present a full Zoo to You program as well.
