At Zoo New England, their mission is to inspire people to protect and sustain the natural world for future generations. They do this by creating fun and engaging experiences that integrate wildlife, conservation programs, research and education. The Zoo is a 72-acre site nestled in Boston’s historic Franklin Park, and has been managed by the City of Boston, the Metropolitan District Commission, and the Commonwealth Zoological Corporation since 1912. They continue to strive to offer engaging activities that will help children learn about wildlife and conservation.
These programs are offered to children ages 7-10. Taught by Zoo educators, classes include hands-on activities, discussion, animal encounters and behind-the-scenes experiences. Each program includes progressive program topics focused on teaching students about animals and their interactions within their ecosystems.
