Sunset Zoo Programs
School Safari Camp
All Kindergarten through 5th graders can now join Sunset Zoo for unique animal experiences all school year when USD 383 is not in session. Campers will embark on journeys that will keep them engaged, both physically and mentally, while their teachers at school take time to plan for future lessons and grow professionally. Journeys will include explorations into animal groups, individual species, ecosystems, and how they can help the natural world around them.

Zoo Parent Program
Adopt An Animal
Caring for animals and their habitats is central to Sunset Zoo’s mission. A trained and dedicated staff provides the best care possible through a commitment to the health and well-being of the animals. Symbolically adopt an animal and support Sunset Zoo’s mission, “To Inspire Conservation of the Natural World.” You can choose from over 128 species! When you choose to become a Zoo Parent, you’ll share the care. In addition to contributing to their daily care, you are also helping conservation efforts within the zoo and around the world.
