Think the Zoo is just for kids? Think again! With informative topics and amusing animals, challenge your mind, get a little exercise, and experience the wonder of the natural world as if you were a kid again! We'll meet outside the front entrance by the gift shop and enjoy an in-front-of-scenes tour of one or more exhibits. Each week varies and may include a game, an animal visitor, or even a special presentation at an exhibit. The program concludes with a brief coffee and tea social.
Senior Safari requires moderate walking to the exhibits, although the tour is wheelchair-accesible.
