Go behind the scenes and learn about the animals up close
Our Family & Youth Programs
The Lake Superior Zoo offers year-round educational programs designed to connect people with animals and the natural world.
Some of our programs are designed for children to be dropped off at the zoo. Some offer opportunities for children and caregivers to learn together as a family. For information about programs for schools, day cares,
