Zoo Tots

Enjoy quality one-on-one time with a special child in your life with a fun and educational experience at our Zoo Tots programs. The sessions of eight weekly classes are for a preschool-age child and adult caregiver and include activities and art to build social and exploration skills, while learning about animals at the Detroit Zoo!

The adult participant may be a parent, grandparent, babysitter or any other adult excited about sharing time at the Zoo. All classes include activities and crafts designed to be completed with the assistance of the caregiver.

The Detroit Zoological Society is taking measures to ensure the safety and well-being of people and animals. Tots and adults are encouraged to bring and wear a mask while indoors. At this time, Education staff will be wearing masks during classes indoors. We will continue to update requirements according to CDC recommendations.

Additional adults and children may not attend due to space constraints and program design. Infants may be brought but are asked to be in a carrier so adult hands are free to assist their toddler with activities and art.

Spring sessions full!

Due to unprecedented demand, our spring Zoo Tots classes have been filled. Registration for our fall session will open Aug. 2. In the meantime, you can sign up for our waitlist to be notified if a space becomes available. We hope to see you soon!
