Lil’ Explorers is a FREE program from 10:00AM-noon on Thursdays in the Visitor Center in the Winter and on the zoo grounds in the Summer. Perfect for the 1-3 year old (but all ages are welcome) to meet animal and plant visitors, see story time, play games and many other fun activities. Different theme each week! An ASL interpreter will be here every Thursday through March from 10:15am-12:15pm interpreting both Lil’ Explorer story times and the 11:30am Sparky Show!
