Project Ark
Through a grant from the Junior League of Baton Rouge, we are happy to offer the Project ARK: Animals Reaching Kids program for grades 1st through 5th at schools in East Baton Rouge Parish for FREE during the 2024/2025 school year!
Project ARK focuses on STEM education. The program offers off-site services to schools, including hands-on encounters with education animal ambassadors and interactive programming that complements the existing science curriculum. Themes options include “Web of Life,” “Native Neighbors,” or "Animal Senses."
We highly recommend scheduling up to 3 programs back to back, enabling the Zoo to maximize the number of classes we can reach. Programs are around 45 minutes long, and class size should be limited to 35 students.
Please complete a request form to schedule your visit or for more information on pricing. Forms must be submitted at least two weeks in advance.
The Zoo Mobile is available in the months of November, December, January, and February.
