About this Event
How far can a lemur jump? What is the difference between an antler and a horn? What does the fur of a takin feel like? Rent one of the 3 Educational Kits to find out the answers to these questions and to get closer to the animals of the zoo!
Each kit contains a self-guided tour of the zoo, animal information, artifacts, activities, games and more! Every kit has links to the Alberta school curriculum and can be adapted for every grade level with basic, intermediate, and advanced information and questions!
You do not have to follow the recommended tour, but the activities and artifacts in the kits have been designed to follow a certain path in the zoo. Once you have the kit it is up to you to decide how you use it!
Check out the tickets section for more information on our three Education Kits: Animal Life Cycles, Seasonal Changes, and Senses!
Interested in being provided with a free Sensory Kit during your visit?
