Blank Park Zoo Homeschool Safari

Explore the world of science through animals and nature. Join other homeschooling families for monthly hands-on, minds-on science including fun activities, demos and more. Monthly sessions frequently include touring the zoo, visiting with animal ambassadors, interacting with zookeepers, and experiencing other unique resources while building science knowledge.
