Guided Animal Conservation Educational Tour at 
Ross Park Zoo, located at 60 Morgan Road, Binghamton, NY 13903 
1:30-3:30 pm on Friday, September 27th 
Description:

Embark on an engaging and educational journey through the Ross Park Zoo! Our guided tour takes participants on a captivating exploration of our animal residents, their native habitats, and the pressing conservation issues they face.

During this immersive experience, our knowledgeable tour guides will weave captivating stories about the animals’ natural history, highlighting their remarkable adaptations. As we stroll through the zoo, we’ll delve into the critical topic of climate change and its impact on wildlife conservation, connecting these discussions to New York State Learning Standards.

This program not only offers an opportunity to witness incredible creatures up close but also aligns with educational objectives, providing a deeper understanding of our environment and the vital importance of wildlife conservation. Join us in this educational adventure, where learning comes to life amidst the wonders of the animal kingdom!

See the zoo’s website for more information here: https://rossparkzoo.org/education/
Limit: 20 Students; all ages (please join a waitlist if this trip fills because depending on how many additional kids over 20 are interested I may be able to get the zoo to expand the program by hiring a second educator)
Cost: $10 per student if we get 20 kids to attend (the cost of the field trip is $200 no matter the number of kids); Pay $10 per kid to register and I will let you know before the trip if each family will need to pay a little more or not.
(adults will have to pay a group rate zoo admission of $5, so please also pay $5 per adult attending when you register)
Registration will close on September 11th so a final head count.
