Join The Quaker School for an Exciting Adventure at the Elmwood Park Zoo! We are thrilled to invite you and your student to an unforgettable day at the Elmwood Park Zoo on November 9th.

Our event will kick off at 12:00 PM with a fun and informative 20-minute educational session, where students will learn fascinating facts about the zoo's amazing animals. After the session, you and your student (2 tickets per family) will have the chance to explore the zoo at your own pace, or you can choose to stroll through the exhibits with classmates for a shared experience.

Due to space limitations, the educational session is capped at 20 participants. However, if we reach capacity, we will offer an additional 20-minute session later in the day. We look forward to seeing you for a day of learning, exploration, and fun at the zoo!
