Animal Outreach Programs:
Auditorium Presentation
Go WILD with an exciting animal adventure that comes to you!
Go Wild! is our new multi-concept, multi-media auditorium presentation that travels with amazing animals and fun creative challenges for your students. Designed for larger groups, Go Wild! can be geared to ages 2nd grade through high school.
For the younger grades, concepts such as animal senses and animal adaptations come alive! Fourth grade and up will compete to determine continent sizes, what animals live longest or lays more than 1,000 eggs during a fun interactive game. They will also learn about careers in Zoology when they all get to play Zoo Jeopardy.
All grades then end their program learning how to train animals and will even get to watch a student be trained to "sit" without knowing what we want them to do or understanding the language being spoken to them, just like the animals.
