Wild Tykes is a drop-in program recommended for kids aged 3-5 and their favorite adults! Each program features a new theme with age-appropriate nature and science activities that focus on these core areas: sensory, movement, free play, art, and problem-solving. We won’t be afraid to get a little dirty as we explore and play together!

See signs posted in the Zoo’s Fountain Plaza to find out the location of activities on the day of your visit. Free with General Admission.

Note: This special edition of Wild Tykes is being offered to replace the regularly scheduled Zoo Tales. Please see the Virginia Zoo Event Calendar for the next offering of Zoo Tales.
