525

If you’re struggling with what to get your younger family members or friends, consider giving the gift of a unique experience this holiday season from the North Carolina Zoo.

The Zoo offers an array of online adventures for kids of all ages and a gift shop with items from around the world.

Virtual Experiences

Price range: $10 – $100

Holiday Break Camps: Our virtual, one-day camps provide fun activities such as visiting Zoo habitats, meeting zookeepers, and hands-on crafts. Kids will have fun learning about Animals in Winter while staying socially distant and safe. Camps are designed for students in grades 1-6 and focus on three ways animals have adapted to survive the winter – migration (Let’s Move It, Move It), hibernation (A Long Winter’s Sleep), and being built for winter (Designed for Winter).

Species Spotlight: This virtual encounter introduces you to ambassador animals or an animal in the Zoo. Spice up your next online meeting or gathering with a personalized experience with a Zoo animal! A virtual gift that can be tailored to any audience and any age.

Creature Connections: An online afterschool program from the Zoo and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, starting in November 2020 through June 2021. Creature Connections is a one-hour, live program every second Thursday of the month. Give the gift and get registered, so you don’t miss any of the land-to-sea fun.

In-Person Experiences at the Zoo

Ride-and-a-GuidePrice range: $150-$190 per group. Give the gift of a private tour of the Zoo with a professional guide! The North Carolina Zoo Society offers “Ride-and-a- Guide” outdoor programs for small groups wishing to visit the Zoo and travel in comfort in a golf cart.
