No one is ever too young to come out and enjoy the Zoo! Twos and Friend is a class designed especially for two-year-olds who are accompanied by one adult. During this 45 minute class, you and your favorite two year old will listen to a story, visit with some classroom animals and make an art project. After the class is over, feel free to stay at the Zoo to go on a wild scavenger hunt!

To a two-year old the world is often viewed in terms of big and little.  Today we will look at things through their eyes.  We'll talk about big cats and little cats, huge animals like elephants and tiny creatures like insects.  We'll show your two-year old every creature has its place, even a tiny child in a big person world.

Many of the Zoo's inhabitants have very specialized senses.  A komodo dragon can smell its food from miles away, while bald eagles can see a fish high up in the sky.  Join us as we discover how lots of animals use their special senses to survive and also how our human senses compare to those super senses.

Many of the Zoo's inhabitants have very unique ways of getting around.  A kangaroo likes to hop and a duck likes to waddle.  A snake crawls on its belly, a gorilla walks on its knuckles and an elephant swings its trunk from side to side as it walks across the yard.  Join us today as we play follow the leader with the animals, as the do their own special "Zoo Walk."
