Turtle Back Zoo is an amazing classroom! Our Wonders of the Wild program offers children an opportunity to participate in supplementary science and nature-themed programs and projects that facilitate scientific literacy and life-long environmental stewardship. Available to children age 6-12, this program includes a visit to the South Mountain Reservation, Reservoir, or Zoo as weather permits. These are in-person, drop-off sessions held in the Berson Family Center from 1-3 PM. Fee is $40/person per session, with a maximum capacity of 10 students in each class. Program fee does not include separate zoo admission. All Fall Dates and Themes Saturday, September 12 @1pm | Animal Training Saturday, October 10 @1pm | Weird, Creepy, and Unique (wear your costume!)

Pick-up time is 3pm; late pick-ups after 1pm will incur a fee of $10 for every 15 minutes late.
