Animal Wonders offers conservation, ecology, and animal educational programs to enhance appreciation and understanding of the natural world.
Our programs and activities are fun, educational, interactive, age-appropriate, and customized for children and adults. We create and bring our programs to your school for in-class workshops, after-school programs, as well as pre-schools/daycares, scouts, 4-H, FFA, summer camps, youth groups, senior living centers, scouting events, community events, library events, birthday parties, corporate functions, benefits, or any special outing in Missouri or Kansas. We are starting scheduling summer 2010 camps now and have some great ones planned with Mad Science in Overland Park. The summer will fill up fast, so the earlier you book, the better.

Education
Each program is designed to give a better understanding of the natural world. The goal of Animal Wonders is to have our students leave a program feeling as strongly and appreciative of conservation and wildlife as our educators do. Students will learn about animal classification, animal behavior, ecosystems, terminology, endangered species, habitat improvement and so much more.
Live Animal Presentations
The field trip that comes to you!! We feel that it is important that the students get to see the animals in person during our programs. Animal Wonders is licensed by the USDA, fully insured, and all of our animals are safe and handled by our trained educators. The species that will be presented will be customized to the program selected. We have a variety of safe birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that will enhance the program. Will will not bring wild canids, felids, or primates to any event. Having many years experience with these species in the zoo world, they have no place in area where children are present. I am parent myself and I wouldn't allow my son to attend an event where these types of animals are present, outside of an AZA approved enclosure.
