Field Trips

Field trips to the Jacksonville Zoo offer an opportunity for students to get outside of the classroom and enjoy hands-on learning experiences designed to encourage an interest in animal welfare and conservation and an appreciation for nature. We can even tailor your experience to your current curriculum to ensure you make the most of your field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.

Due to COVID-19, some of our field trips policies have been adjusted.  The health and safety of our students, guests, and staff is our highest priority, and we are relying on recommendations provided by local, state, and federal agencies to guide our decisions.
