Food is such a crucial resource for us all. Come explore what
different animals need to eat in order to stay healthy, and how our
personal food choices actually impact wildlife! This Journey is sure to be a cool experience that includes a
trip to our animal commissary where the diets are prepared—no
tasting, please! You will also earn a participant patch.

Did you ever think about working at a zoo?
There are very important purposes for Zoos, and many careers are
required to operate an accredited Zoo, like the Louisville Zoo. Join
us for an afternoon Journey at
the Louisville Zoo as we explore together how zoos are leaders in
conservation, and all the professions that the employees at our Zoo
are so passionate about, and how you can be a leader in conservation
as well! You will get an inside look at the Zoo, meet employees, and
earn a participation patch.
Cost: $12/Girl and $8/Adult (No discounts for
Zoo members)
