Junior Keepers at the Queens Zoo

Your child can learn all about zookeeping at this drop-off event at the Queens Zoo! This event is ideal for children in 3rd-5th grade. Participants will meet keepers and might even help out with amazing enriching activities for our animals.

Kids will go hog wild as we learn about the similarities and differences between Chacoan peccaries and the domestic hog at the Queens Zoo. Your child will participate in up-close animal encounters, exhibit exploration, and more in this early-access drop-off program!
