The Saint Louis Zoo has a variety of outreach programs that can be delivered to large groups. Fun and informative, these programs were designed mainly for school groups but are appropriate for all ages and audiences. Below you will find some of our most popular assembly programs along with some new offerings. However, most of our programs can be adapted for large groups. We customize each program to meet your organization's needs, whether it's a corporate conference, scout pack meeting or school celebration or you can work with our staff to create a new program just for you.
