Franklin Park Zoo
Stone Zoo
Make your visit even more memorable by adding an educational program that turns the Zoo into your students’ wildest classroom yet. Our programs connect classroom learning with our unique resources to show students how science comes to life here every single day.
The zoo offers two different options for an educational program at the zoo. In our 30-minute classroom programs, you and your students get an exclusive opportunity to meet animals up-close and connect them to science topics. In 60-minute Zoo Inquiries, students assume the role of conservationists, exploring ways to support animals at the zoo and in the wild.
A group reservation form is required and must be completed if booking an educational program.

ZooCareers: Animal Training
Students will learn how and why we communicate with animals.
-Please note that due to the animals’ availability and health, we cannot guarantee which live animals we will bring to each program. Animals we bring align with the program topic and information covered.
-Due to abundant caution for the well-being of ambassador animals in our care, and for people who participate in our programs, we encourage looking at our animals without touching them.
-We rely on chaperones and teachers to help maintain a quiet and calm space for the safety and well-being of our animals.
We can accommodate groups of up to 25 participants.
For more information about our programs and how to schedule one, please contact us at education@zoonewengland.org or by calling: 617-989-3742.
