OUR SPRING SEMESTER IS FULLY BOOKED AND IS CURRENTLY CLOSED

Join us for a unique opportunity to partner with Como Park Zoo and Conservatory for four days of hands-on learning. Created for 3rd grade students, we partner with teachers to deliver a FREE program that brings curriculum to life and creates meaningful experiences that students will remember for a lifetime.

Rainforest Adventures: Exploring Layers and Adaptations

Discover the wonders of the rainforest in our interactive program! Learn about the four layers of the rainforest ecosystem and about the incredible plants and animals that thrive there. Through creative hands-on experiences, students will design an interactive science poster that highlights the unique adaptations of rainforest species. This engaging program helps students better understand how plants and animals are perfectly suited to their environment, offering a fun and lasting connection to the natural world.

Metro-area schools participate in two days of programming at Como and two days at the school.

Greater Minnesota Schools (More than One Hour Driving Distance)
