Lions, tigers, and bears, Oh, My. In addition to the zoo’s animal exhibits, this “40-acre living classroom” offers programs for every age.

Babies and toddlers will love the music sing-along and dance programs at the Roger Williams Park Zoo. Preschool-aged kids will enjoy focused lessons about a particular animal that incorporates up-close encounters, an interactive activity, and a craft. One-day camps invite kids ages 6 to 11 to a full day of crafts, games, inquiry-driven activities, zoo tours, goat feeding, and so much more.

Teen directed programs introduce youth to career opportunities within the zoo and treat kids to behind-the-scenes interactions with zookeepers and animals. The zoo hosts field trips, overnight adventures, and special programs for children with sensory sensitivities. Memberships and special rates are available.
