Educational Programs

The Sacramento Zoo's Education Department provides a wide variety of programs and experiences that appeal to children and adults alike. Zoo staff and volunteers provide an extensive list of programs both on- site, off-site and online.

In 2019, the zoo reached more than 153,000 youth and adults with fun, educational and inspiring programing about animals and conservation. Dedicated docents volunteered 11,743 hours with over 100 teen volunteers adding another 16,000 hours of service.

This includes not only animal husbandry at the Sacramento Zoo, but also the management of captive populations of certain species in accredited Zoos and Aquariums across the United States. Additionally, this includes the local and global conservation efforts to preserve species that are in danger of population decline or extinction.

People are the heart of any nonprofit organization, and the Sacramento Zoological Society is no different. Volunteers and dedicated staff work tirelessly to care for the animals and continually improve both the facility and the overall guest experience.

Each year, the Sacramento Zoo sees over 500,000 visitors come through its gates. This includes daily visitors, as well as 12,000 Sacramento Zoo member households and attendees of the many fundraising events held on Zoo grounds.
