About this event

From Turkeys to T-Rex

Grades K,1, & 2

July 20 - July 24: 9:00am-12:00pm

$205 Non-Member / $184.50 EARTH Ltd Member

This half-day program focuses on how modern animals evolved from their prehistoric ancestors. By examining evolution, we can discover some surprising connections! Did you know that the T-Rex is connected to turkeys and chickens? Students will explore the connections between different species of animals and what makes them alike and unique.

Program highlights: Learning about the zoo’s 150+ different species, train ride through North American exhibit and wetlands, meeting animal ambassadors in the EARTH Discovery Center, tie-dying a t-shirt to bring home, arts and crafts, and more!

If you have any questions, please contact: Bob Clark, Program Director, at earthltdsummerprogram@gmail.com

Summer Wild Adventure Program FAQs

Where and when do I drop my child off?

On the first day of the program, please arrive by 8:45am. The drop off area is located at the top of the zoo's smaller parking lot (across the street from the larger field parking lot). There will be a picnic table.

Where do I pick up my child?

Children will be picked up at 12:00pm at the top of the zoo's smaller parking lot (across the street from the larger field parking lot). There will be a picnic table and sign.

What should my child wear?

Make sure your child is dressed for the weather. We spend most of the day outdoors and do a large amount of walking, so we recommend that children wear comfortable shoes and do not wear sandals or open toed shoes. Following state guidelines, children will be required to wear a face mask throughout the day, excluding during meal times. We strongly recommend packing an extra mask in case one gets dirty or is unusable.

What should my child bring?

  • A mask or other fabric face covering such as a bandana. Following state guidelines, children will be required to wear a face mask throughout the day, excluding during meal times. We strongly recommend packing an extra mask in case one gets dirty or is unusable.
  • Sneakers or boots only (no sandals, flip flops, or open-toed shoes). Shoes must be comfortable enough for children to walk all over the zoo.
  • Backpack
  • A pencil bag with colored pencils, markers, crayons, small paint brush and regular pencils.
  • Additional clothing depending on the day’s weather forecast (i.e. extra socks, raincoat, sweatshirt, hat, etc.)
  • Water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Insect repellent
  • Snacks
  • Hand sanitizer - We have installed a hand washing station, staff will have hand sanitizer, and hand sanitizer is available in various locations in the zoo, but we recommend that children bring their own to help minimize contact.
