FAQ
Does the child need to be accompanied by an adult for the Junior Zookeeper program?
No, that’s one of the great things about this activity: your child participates on their own, without needing an adult chaperone. Meanwhile, parents are free to explore the park. The activity takes place in small groups led by a professional animal zookeeper from the park.
What is the difference between Junior Zookeeper and Zookeeper for a Day?
"Junior Zookeeper" is for children ages 7 to 11 and takes place in the morning (10:30 AM to 12:30 PM); no adult chaperone is required. "Zookeeper for a Day" is for adults and children ages 8 and up accompanied by an adult, and takes place in the afternoon. The animals you’ll meet are also different.
How long does the Junior Zookeeper activity last?
The activity lasts one morning, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (2 hours). It includes preparing meals, distributing food, maintaining the grounds, and observing the animals’ behavior. A day pass to visit the rest of the park is included in the price.
What animals will the child encounter during the Junior Zookeeper program?
Children get to care for the animals at the Children's Ranch and the capybaras: alpacas, dwarf goats, coatis, parakeets, and capybaras—the world's largest rodents. These animals are particularly well-suited for young children, as they are gentle and endearing.
