Today's Hours
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Zoo Tots is back! We have modified this popular program to bring you Zoo Tots at Home, a series of self-guided adventures designed for young children. Activities can be completed with your family in the safety of your home, yard or local park — or during a visit to the Detroit Zoo!
Each session of Zoo Tots at Home includes one materials packet and 30-day access to our Zoo Tots virtual classroom. The packet contains materials to create one fun craft; it also has a collectable Get Outside! card highlighting an outdoor activity. The Zoo Tots virtual classroom will feature a video story time, hike and craft, and provide an interactive space where participants can share creations and ask questions.
After registration, classroom links will be sent through email and materials packets will be available for pick up at the Zoo. Shipping is available for an additional fee.
