Education Stations offer a flexible, pre-paid experience for 2nd-5th grade classrooms to explore various topics related to plants and animals at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. Priced at $4 per student, each station provides engaging educational content about the zoo and conservatory, with free admission for chaperones and teachers. The station area is located in the zoo’s outdoor pavilion. Chaperoned groups can visit the stations anytime between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm as space allows. A 1:8 or smaller chaperone-to-student ratio is recommended.
Students will receive a pamphlet containing tasks for each station and additional instructions will be provided for chaperones. Como educators and volunteers will also be available to assist. Students typically spend 25-30 minutes visiting the stations, but the experience is self-paced and may vary.
Education Stations are available Monday through Friday, April 1st 2025 through June 6th 2025. A minimum of 50 students is required to book and can accommodate up to 150 students.
