The Memphis Zoo is here to make teaching easier for you! We offer a variety of educational classes that can be added to your Field Trip. To top things off, all our “edZOOcation” classes meet Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi state standards.
Even if a formal class doesn’t fit into your Field Trip schedule, we still have ‘extra’ educational opportunities your students can enjoy. From private tours led by our exceptional Docents to scavenger hunts that will take your class around the Zoo, you’re sure to find an activity that’s right for your group. And check out our helpful tips to help you plan your Zoo field trip - submitted by teachers like you!
