What families say

“My son has discovered a love for all types of animals, he has learned a lot, and has not complained of a boring day. I also have to say the staff is great. They are very helpful to my husband and I, and show patience and attention to our son. I have to tell you that if my child had a choice, he would spend everyday visiting The Zoo.” — Frances T. | Springfield, MA

“Zoo Camp is fabulous! Kids have up-close opportunities throughout the week to meet and learn about many different kinds of animals in engaging, age-appropriate ways. The camp staff are extremely friendly and responsive - and they are well- equipped to work with kids with all kinds of special and unique needs. It's a great camp experience that we so highly recommend.” — Anonymous Camp Parent (Zoo Camp 2023)
