ZooKids

Classes are held on select Saturdays from 9:30am–12:00pm. 

Each ZooKids class is offered twice per month to accommodate more participants. Each month has a different theme and classes are designed so that children can come to multiple classes without repeating the same activities.

Fees:

Oakland Zoo members: $25.00 (must provide member number)

Price: $30.00

Program fees cover program expenses and Zoo admission for the participant only.

Parents or families want to enter the Zoo during or after class will need to pay regular Zoo admission.

Oakland Zoo Members can use their membership for admission, as usual.

Parking fees are waived for people dropping off or picking up ZooKids participants.

Classes

Each class is offered on two Saturdays to accommodate more participants, so please sign up for only one Saturday per month. You are welcome to sign up for multiple classes in different months.
