At-home activities
Bring the Oregon Zoo to you with Facebook Live!
Go behind the scenes to meet animals and connect with our animal care staff. Check out our playlist here, visit our Facebook page or watch on YouTube. After each 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 is to become a member, renew your membership or make a donation. Thank you!
