Lions and tigers and bears, oh my . . . those are just a few things you will see when you go to the Memphis Zoo. If you happen to visit on one of the Memphis Zoo Homeschool Days, you will see and do a whole lot more.

”Meet live animals, participate in hands-on activities, and get a guided tour of exhibits.”

The Memphis Zoo has been hosting Homeschool Days for a number of years. Children tour areas of the zoo to learn about different animals and then return to a classroom setting for even more learning. Each Homeschool Day has a different focus, so your child can enjoy attending all of the offered events and learn something new each time.
