Bringing Students Closer To Nature...
Encounter chatty parrots, tittering tamarins, and much more. Experience
a “giraffe’s eye-view” of a 4.5 acre mixed species African Savannah
exhibit from our elevated walkway. 10:30 am daily public giraffe feeding
allows students to meet our “gentle giants” first hand ($1.00 per
person). Howl with coyotes. Gobble with turkeys. Feed friendly goats or
curious deer and elk (.25 for feed). For even more hands-on experiences
schedule on-site guided encounters in our zoo amphitheater featuring
insects, reptiles and small mammals.

amphitheater, featuring live animals.

Tips For A Successful Fieldtrip
Thank you for
choosing the Frank Buck Zoo for your field trip! We are delighted to host
your group, and want your visit to be a pleasant and memorable one. Here
are some guidelines that will help you to plan your group’s visit. Please
make sure all chaperones have a copy.
*Please plan to
have the buses arrive at the zoo no later the 30 mins. prior to your first
scheduled activity.*
Please plan to
have one point person arrive early to purchase all student admission bands
and settle the invoice. Please print two invoices one for your files and
bring the other to the zoo for payment. Please keep one copy for your
files and bring the other copy to present to the cashier the day of the
visit. This will save time and eliminate confusion. If the point person is
riding a bus, please have the driver drop that person off at the entry
before proceeding to the east end of the park for parking. Your
cooperation will streamline entry time, eliminate long lines and
congestion at the entry.
Admission Tips: Food Tips: -Please plan to leave
coolers on the bus, as there is no cooler storage inside the zoo. -You may picnic at tables or in the park pavilion in
Leonard Park, outside the zoo.
Gift Shop Tips:
Parking Tips: Programs Tips: Restroom Tips: -Have students use the
restrooms in the park before entering the zoo (more stalls). -The only restrooms in
the zoo are located at the entry. Please help us keep the zoo restrooms
clean by chaperoning students while they are in the restrooms.
