Cargill Environmental Education Center

Designed for the thousands of students and teachers who visit the Zoo each year, the Cargill Environmental Education Center significantly increases program capacity. This remodeled and expanded area will centralize the Zoo’s education department functions and house the Volunteer Headquarters for the Zoo’s 1,000 volunteers who are critical to advancing our education mission. Among its several new classrooms is one designed to allow guests to view into the new Penguins of the African Coast exhibit.
