Education Department Wish List
The Education Department at Fresno Chaffee Zoo provides an array of fun and informative
programs for children, teachers, families and groups of all kinds. Whether it's a school
field trip or a week-long camp adventure, our Education Department is here to make your
visit to the Zoo a fun educational experience.
Our Education Department is home to a myriad of different animals from our ferret
“Captain Jack” to our screech owl “Whammo” and “Taz” the hedgehog! Some of these
animals are our ambassadors to the community. Throughout the year they assist in
teaching both children and adults the importance of conservation and the role that
each of them contributes to the animal kingdom. Maintaining a fully-functioning
Education Department that teaches both on- and off-site takes a great deal of money.
