Join us this summer for a week full of exploration, wildlife, and fun!
Zoo Patrol at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo encourages kids ages 7-10 and 11-13 to explore a different area of the zoo and have a custom guided experience. They'll explore how the animals are cared for through presentations and projects on enrichment, training, diet, and habitat care, and more!

Special Program Add-On!
Add an Animal Adoption Box to your Zoo Patrol Experience! Adoption boxes are a great way for your child to feel connected to the Zoo, even after their week of fun and exploration comes to an end. Boxes will be distributed every Friday, at the end of that day's Zoo Patrol session. Boxes can be added on during registration.
