Whether you are with a church group, scouts, or 4H, the Minnesota Zoo offers a variety of exciting educational programs to meet your needs. Experience our award-winning exhibits and exotic animals on Girl Scout Day; learn about animal diets on a behind-the-scenes tour; or sleep at the Zoo after learning about dolphins, bears or our farm animals on an overnight adventure. We can’t wait to see you here!
