Fall fun at the Prospect Park Zoo

It’s always fun at the Prospect Park Zoo, thanks to its new fall programs!

From mini-camps to hands-on programs, children and their parents have wonderful opportunities to visit the zoo and experience the animals up-close and personal. There’s also activites, games, and interesting hikes you won’t want to miss.

On Nov. 3 from 10 to 11:30 am, children 7 to 10 years old accompanied by a parent can explore the zoo with an urban ecologist and learn all about the avian populations that live there, plus the ones that fly in for a visit, in the Celebrate Urban Birds program.

Making Discoveries on Nov. 12 from 10 to 11 am offers children 3 to 7 years old, with an adult, the chance to learn all about North American animals, hear a story, and then dissect an owl pellet.

Admission to the fall programs (per event), is $35 for a parent and child who are members, and $40 for non-members; $15 for each additional adult or child participating in Making Discoveries.
