At the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden we strive to create experiences that inspire young minds and awaken their desire to learn. Our programs are designed to foster a sense of wonder, share knowledge and advocate an active involvement with wildlife and wild places. This vision is brought to life by our professional staff and dedicated volunteers - creative individuals willing to invest their time and energy to inform and inspire others in our community.

Additionally, these pages offers ideas and suggestions for Zoo expeditions and classroom visits. Please use the information in this section as a guide to enhance your educational experience at the Zoo. While inspiring students to delve into science, geography, math and social studies, the Zoo’s programs and materials help fulfill performance standards set by Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. At the same time, they focus on the skills and attitudes necessary to sustain a living planet.

Together we can make a difference!
