Schools on Safari

To add that personal touch to your next visit to Binder Park Zoo, why not sign your class up for a Schools on Safari program?

The cost is only $45.00 per class, per program. Class size is limited to 40 participants (this includes both children and adults). Programs are 30 minutes long which means they won’t take too much time away from your zoo visit.

This is your chance to see some interesting animals that are NOT on exhibit at the zoo. The programs are not only fun, but also educational.

Programs must be scheduled in advance, and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Call Nicole Wilkinson to schedule yours now! (269)979-1351 ext. 175.

Schools on Safari Programs:
