Zoo Crew (Parent and Tot)
Looking for something to connect yourself and your preschooler with nature? Our fun and interactive program for children ages 2 through 5 years old is just that.
2024 theme "Get to Know the Zoo Near You"
Our theme this year is “Get to Know the Zoo Near You” where we’ll be discussing the goals and missions of Riverview Park and Zoo!
The overall outcome for this theme is that local residents, parents, and children of the program, grasp a different perspective of what Riverview Park and Zoo does by getting to know more about some of our beloved animals and what goes on behind-the-scenes here at their local zoo.
Each of our six sessions will be based specifically on our animals, their enrichment, and facts about them, and include a new book, craft, song, activity, and animal encounter.
Schedule
Zoo Crew programs are offered each year, with both summer and fall/winter session(s).
- SUMMER - Friday mornings from July to August for six consecutive weeks.
- FALL/WINTER - Second Saturday morning options from November to April for six consecutive months.
Sessions are held in the Rotary Education Centre located just inside the main entrance gate, and typically run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. For fall/winter, we will be offering two options to choose from -- 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Cost
Registration is $100 per child and includes their very own t-shirt as part of the program. If necessary, any children of infant age (ie. under 2 years of age) are also welcome to accompany you to the sessions.
