WHERE:  Beardsley Zoo

as a group.  If enough sign up, we will have a class
as well called "Animal Encounter/Animal Tool".

Animal Encounters are short (20 – 30 minute) on-grounds educational
presentations aimed at enhancing your students' field trip to the
Zoo. Your students will meet one or two live animals, see bio-facts
and learn "insider" tips to help them enjoy their zoo visit even more.

Animal Tools: An eagle's sharp talons and beak work like a knife and
fork. Otters have built-in goggles and flippers. Look through our
animal toolbox to learn more.

TIME:  10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

COST:  $7. each
If taking a class, the cost will be an additional $5. per child
as long as there are enough kids to take the class.  (The
class cost is $60. so it may be cheaper if enough sign up.)

Bring your own lunch and eat outside at the pavilion and
enjoy a carousel ride (inside) if you desire.
