At-home activities
We're bringing the Oregon Zoo to you on Facebook Live!
Go behind the scenes to meet animals and connect with our animal care staff. Tune in for new videos every week on our Facebook page or watch on YouTube. After each live video, come here for at-home ideas to learn more about these animals and how to help them. The activities, developed by our award-winning education team, are aimed at children ages K–5 (but we invite animal lovers of all ages to join in the fun!)
The zoo relies on public support to operate. The biggest way to make a difference right now is to become a member, renew your membership or make a donation. Thank you!
