Stroller Safari (ages 10 months-2 years with an adult)

This three-part class is for adults with infants and/or toddlers who want to learn more about the zoo and its residents! Enjoy a stroll through Happy Hollow to view different exhibits each week and meet an animal ambassador up close. Learn how to make animal exhibits engaging for young children and stay after class for informal play time to get to know other zoo families. Please respect age restrictions and do not bring older/younger siblings to class. Class fee is for 1 child and 1 adult. Each additional participant requires an additional fee.

Backyard BuddiesYou have an amazing animal habitat located in your own backyard. Discover the many different types of animals that call your backyard home and meet the zoo’s backyard buddies, too!

Animal ToysDid you know that animals play with toys too? At the zoo, we call it enrichment! Learn how we keep our animals entertained and exercised.

Move Like the AnimalsHop, swing, run, and slither - these are just a few of the ways that animals move! Find out how zoo animals get around and see if you can match their moves!

Tales for Tots (ages 2-3 with an adult)

Stories come to life in this exciting three-part class! Toddlers and their adults will hear a story then explore the world of the story through songs, hands-on activities, and meeting live animals. Please respect age restrictions and do not bring older/younger siblings to class. Class fee is for 1 child and 1 adult. Each additional participant requires an additional fee.

Animals in MotionWalk, hop, or slither into this adventure to find out about the ways animals move. Do you know what the fastest animal on land is? How does a bird swoop or dive? Join us on an adventure to find the answers to these questions and more!

Barnyard BuddiesCome face to face with Happy Hollow’s barnyard buddies and learn how animals and people help each other on the farm!

Hide and Seek Some animals like to play Hide and Seek, just like you! Learn about some animals that like to stay hidden like playful parrots, camouflaging chame-leons, and hibernating hedgehogs.

Wild Science (ages 4-6)

Explore the wild world of biology in this hands-on class geared to meet CA Science Standards. Each “edutaining” class includes an interactive discussion, inquiry-based activities, and a visit from one of our animals. Join us for a class full of discovery and awe - great for homeschoolers too!

Reptile FilesAre you intrigued by tiny turtles, lengthy lizards, and slithering snakes? Happy Hollow is home to a dozen species of reptiles – most of which you can only meet during special zoo classes! Learn what makes a reptile a reptile and meet some of our ectothermic friends up close!

All About Africa Join our zoo teachers for an exciting trip to Africa through stories, games, crafts, and up-close animal encounters. Learn about giant megafauna found half-way around the world as well as some smaller African species that call Happy Hollow home.

Nocturnal NightsWhy would an animal want to be awake in the middle of the night? Find out their reasons for strange sleeping patterns, unique adaptations, and how they survive in the deep, dark depths of the night.

Jr. Keepers (ages 7-9) Does raking, scooping, feeding, enriching, and caring for zoo animals sound fun and interesting to you? Then join our zoo crew! Learn one or more of these zoo keeping skills and help Happy Hollow’s zookeepers take care of our zoo animals. Jr. Keepers will explore different aspects of zoo keeping throughout the year.

Animal DietsWild animals have specialized diets, and just because they live at the zoo doesn’t mean that changes! Join us to learn what our animals eat and how the zoo makes sure they stay healthy. Prepare some animal meals and feed some of the animals.

Animal EnrichmentWhat is enrichment and why is it so important? Answer these questions while learning how the zookeepers make sure the animals stay physically fit and mentally active. You’ll also get to make an enrichment item for one of the zoo animals and watch what they do with it!

Animal TrainingDo zoo animals do tricks? No, but sometimes they are trained to do natural behaviors! Find out what the difference is, how zookeepers train the animals, and why!

Zooteen Shadow (ages 10-13)

Are you eager to volunteer at the zoo? Our Zooteen Program starts at age 14, but you can get a head start with our new class, Zooteen Shadow! Join our young mentors to learn the very same tasks that the zookeepers taught them! You’ll learn valuable skills in this adult-supervised class.

Animal CareJoin our Animal Care Zooteens to help give the barnyard animals breakfast, clean the Double H Ranch Barn, make enrichment for the parrots, and even give a Parrot Talk on Parrot Island!

Meet & GreetOur Zooteens are important members of the Zoo Crew. Not only do they help care for the animals, but they also provide our zoo guests with the opportunity to meet our live animal ambassadors up close on Critter Corner! Join our Meet & Greet Zooteens to learn about and meet some of our animal ambassadors, talk to the public about why the animals are here and their role in their natural environment, and even learn how to handle one of our program animals!

Sunrise Safari (all ages with an adult) Be the first through the gate and wake up with the animals before the zoo opens! This unique tour will lead you through the zoo and behind the scenes to learn about our early risers and how we start their day off on the right foot, paw, or hoof! Each tour visits different animals as well as a few of our favorites from previous tours! Class fee is for 2 participants. Each additional participant requires an additional fee.

Breakfast with the AnimalsPancakes, bacon, and eggs might sound good to you and me, but the animals at the zoo have something quite different in mind! Help us serve breakfast to some of our animals while learning all about where and how it’s made!

Family Fun (ages 4+ with an adult) These fun family classes are filled with activities for adults and children to do together. Each class includes interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and meeting live animals up close! Class fee is for 1 child and 1 adult. Please respect age restrictions and do not bring younger siblings to class. Each additional participant requires an additional fee.

Gifts for the Animals Join us this holiday season to make gifts for the animals! You and your family will learn about the importance of enrichment in zoos and create a holiday-themed enrichment item to give to one of our zoo animals. If you took this class last year, it will be similar, but we will meet and see different animals.

Flashlight Safari (ages 4+ with an adult) Have you ever wondered what happens at the zoo after dark? Grab your flashlight and join us on an adventure through the zoo to learn about the nocturnal habits of the animals and even meet live nocturnal animals up close! Class fee is for two participants.

Howl-o-ween Family Sleepover (ages 5+ with an adult)

Be our overnight guest for a howling good time and enjoy the thrill of the zoo after dark. During your adventure, learn the truth about “scary” animals through Halloween-themed activities, games, live animal encounters, and night tours. Your adventure includes a late-night snack and breakfast the next morning. Bring your own tent and sleeping gear to tent camp in the Crooked House Meadow or sleep indoors in the Learning LODGE Classroom. Indoor sleeping is limited and must be requested by contacting the Education Department. Class fee is for one child and one adult. Each additional participant is an additional fee.

School Break Camps at Happy Hollow! (Ages 5-11)

Bundle up for a Happy Hollow Adventure this winter! In our camps, you’ll have tons of fun with interactive discussions, hands-on activities, live animal encounters, and more! Children attend camps independently (without parents/guardians).

Winter Break Day CampIf you’ve taken our camps before, this year will be a little different! With the holiday in the middle of the week this year, we are offering single day enrollment for our holiday camps. Join us each day for winter-themed educational games, crafts, and activities. As always, we’ll be sure to spend time on zoo tours and meeting live animals. We will also spend time in the park watching puppet shows, playing at Redwood Lookout, and sampling the rides as weather permits.
