Calling all science enthusiasts! Science Day at the Dallas Zoo is a fun way for teachers, parents, and students to discover their community’s world of science--from tracking an ocelot through the wilderness to exploring the science behind gardening. By participating in each of the fun, hands-on activity stations throughout the Zoo, you'll find new and exciting ways to bring science back to your classroom. Be sure to drop in to the free mini-workshops presented by Zoo researchers throughout the day, too. Additional community participants may include City of Dallas Storm Water Management, Dallas Museum of Nature and Science, North Texas Master Naturalists, The Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary, and Texas Discovery Gardens.

All educators will receive four (4) hours of professional development credit as well as TEEAC credit. Pre-registered educators will receive (at no charge) a guide/CD of science activities, parking, monorail pass, and admission!

Bring your family along! They can participate in the activities too and earn cool prizes. Please note: family members must pay regular zoo admission, only the pre-registered educator receives free zoo entrance.
