YEAR-ROUND FIELD TRIPS
Scheduling Your Field Trip
Woodland Park Zoo would like to welcome Homeschool Groups year-round to use our facility as a learning destination. By registering three weeks in advance, homeschool groups can qualify for the reduced admission education rate.
Please see our Field Trips page for a step-by-step guide for booking and preparing for your visit.
HOMESCHOOL DAYS
Homeschool Days 2025
Friday, April 11
Homeschool Days are designed to ensure homeschooling families like yours have equitable access to the resources available to traditional schools. Though the zoo will be open to the public, we are selecting a date during the spring break of surrounding districts which limits registered school groups so you will have an easier time navigating the animal spaces, making this a more personal experience.
Cost
You’ll pay the education admission rate, without needing to worry about the qualifying chaperone-to-student ratio—and scholarships are available if needed.
Please contact schools@zoo.org, with any questions or requests.
