Rock'n Rainforest

by Lee Richardson Zoo

Rainforests are a rockin’ place to live, but why is such a party in the jungle!? Join us for this engaging program that will allow your students to discover the wonders of the rainforest for themselves. Special rainforest Ambassador Animals will join us throughout the program to help illustrate the wonder that is to be found in this unique location. The Lee Richardson Zoo's Distance Learning Studio offers a multitude of environmental programs to students all over the nation. Our programs include 2-4 live animals. However, we are currently unable to give programs from actual exhibits around the zoo.
