These classes are designed for children to participate independently. Parents are not allowed to stay with their children. If your child has diagnosed special needs and is unable to participate without an aide, please contact us to discuss accommodations at: lisa@oaklandzoo.org). Most classes end with a short presentation (song or recitation) for the parents. If parents or families want to enter the zoo during or after class, they will need to pay regular zoo admission. Oakland Zoo member families can use their membership for admission. Although the ZooKids class starts at 9:30 am, the zoo does not open until 10 am. Parents or families who wish to visit the zoo while their child is in ZooKids will have to wait outside the entrance gates until the zoo opens.
