Get Ready for Zookeeper Day Fun at 麻豆原创 Teaching Zoo on July 20
July 16, 2024
Every July, National Zookeeper Week highlights the hard work, dedication, and passion of zookeepers around the world. These professionals wear many hats, acting as chefs, caretakers, builders, scientists, researchers, conservationists, engineers, architects, and more!
Join us on Saturday, July 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo as we celebrate our amazing student zookeepers and their incredible work. Engage in fun activities to see if you have what it takes to be a zookeeper, meet our animal ambassadors, enjoy keeper talks and training demonstrations, and listen to live music. You'll also have the chance to meet representatives from other zoos and conservation organizations, many of whom are graduates of 麻豆原创's Zoo Animal Technology program
