Go on Summer Safari At The Zoo
Summertime is a happy time for kids, but “I’m bored” often sets in too soon. Your Toledo Zoo is an expert at undoing “boreditis” with fun, affordable summer camps for kids ages 4 to 14, all summer long.
From photographing cheetahs, elephants and polar bears to making enrichment for the animals, becoming a zookeeper for a week or even fishing the Lake Erie Islands, the Toledo Zoo has a camp that’s perfect for the child in your life. Each camp includes interaction with live animals, including some wild new friends you wouldn’t have a chance to meet otherwise. The Zoo understands family schedules, too, so before- and after-care are available for all the camps. Learn more at toledozoo.org/camps.
Kids aren’t the only ones who get to have some fun, though. Throughout the summer, the Zoo offers great family adventures! Stay overnight along Tembo Trail, camping by the elephants and hippos of this dynamic exhibit. Or spend an evening on grounds after-hours with an Education tour guide who shows you the Zoo as you’ve probably never seen it. These getaways are expected to fill fast, so check out toledozoo.org/edzoocation today for the session you want.
Badge programs are available for the scouts in your family, too, including the popular new
3-in-3 program where you can earn three badges in three 6-hour days. Learn more at toledozoo.org/scouts.
