Because animal well-being is at the heart of our mission, we invite you to step into the daily lives of our team and discover the many actions we take to provide the best possible support to the animals in our care.
“Junior Zookeeper” Game
Become a Junior Zookeeper and take care of one of four animals living at the Zoo Ecomuseum: the Wood Turtle, River Otter, Arctic Fox, or Common Raven. With ten game stations located throughout the site, you’ll explore different aspects of the animals’ daily lives at the zoo: living spaces, diets and feeding, enrichment, medical care, visitor interactions, and much more.
At each station, you’ll have to identify which option best corresponds to your chosen animal and record your answer on your Zoo Map. Every station also includes a QR code linking to a short educational video that highlights our animal care practices. You can even play again to try caring for all four animals!
Don’t forget to snap a selfie with your “Junior Zookeeper” Accreditation once you’ve completed the journey!
These activities are included with regular admission, no reservation required. Available until mid/the end of September (while supplies last).
