Outreach Workshops

New! The Toledo Zoo will come to you for professional development!
Is it difficult to get to workshops hosted at the Zoo? Our education staff will come to your school or administration offices and bring activities, live animals and biofacts, information and indicator-aligning ideas to help make your science teaching easier and help you to better meet science standards. Note: Arrangements for outreach workshops must be made at least one month in advance. As a limited number may be offered, this is a first-come, first-served program.
