Animal Activities for Kids of All Ages!
In order to take precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person humane education programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center are cancelled until further notice. We understand the disappointment this may cause as many of these events have required lengthy planning from the participants, but we are committed to preserving the community’s health and safety. Please connect with us about either rescheduling your program to a later date if possible, or fully cancelling it and receiving either a refund or considering your current payment as a donation.
We recognize the importance of staying positive and educated during times like these, so check out our Virtual Education and Critter-grams!
The Education Department at Helen Woodward Animal Center serves children of all ages by providing a variety of unique learning opportunities which support the bond between humans and animals by nurturing knowledge, compassion and respect toward all living things.
Programs provide a variety of hands-on animal interactions for children of all ages from rabbits, horses and dogs, to snakes, birds and invertebrates. Learn more about our Animal Education Programs below!
