Have you ever wonder what it's really like to be a zookeeper? National Zookeeper Week is celebrated every July to bring attention to the hard work, dedication, and loyalty of zookeepers around the world. Zookeepers are chefs, care takers, builders, scientists, researchers, conservationists, engineers, architects and more!
Participate in activities to see if you have what it takes to be a zookeeper, meet our animal ambassadors, enjoy keeper talks, training demonstrations, and meet with representatives from other zoos and conservation organizations represented by graduates from the Zoo Animal Technology program.
