Welcome to Wildlife Zooniversity
at Dickerson Park Zoo.

Wildlife Zooniversity magnifies the amazing world of animals for all ages–offering classes for tots to adults. Students will learn through an inquiry-based educational approach designed to create curiosity, encourage discovery, and inspire conservation action.

All education classes take place in the Gaska Family Education Wing building located a short drive from the front gate. See map for details.  Registration for classes closes at noon one day prior to date of the class to allow teachers time to prepare.
