Program Information

Pre-K – K

Denver Zoo currently offers one field trip program option for our youngest learners. This program is recommended for preschool and kindergarten students. In this facilitated field trip learning experience, students meet animal guests in our Zoo classrooms, explore key concepts that support relevant Colorado Academic Standards, and are empowered to become scientists as they observe, question, and seek answers.

Creature Feature

30 minutes | 35 students maximum, 15 student minimum

With very special animal guests, let’s start learning about classification! What characteristics make animal groups unique, whether they’re amphibians, birds, invertebrates, mammals, or reptiles?
