KIDS ANIMAL ACADEMY AT NORTH GEORGIA WILDLIFE PARK

9/21/2020

3 Comments

 
North Georgia Wildlife Park is excited to announce the launch of Kids Animal Academy! This class will meet at the Wildlife Park on Thursdays, beginning October 8th. Kids in 1st-5th grades are invited, although if enough younger or older kids are interested, the park may open other classes. The class will be limited to 10 participants.
Kids will learn about a variety of animals, with a different animal(s) featured each week. This will be very hands-on for the participants and will include a wide assortment of both native and exotic animals. They will also learn valuable lessons about the importance of conservation issues. These classes will be led by professional animal educators from the Wildlife Park.
 Kids can sign up for one-hour or two-hour classes. One-hour classes will meet 4:00pm-5:00pm or 5:00pm-6:00pm. Two-hour classes will meet 4:00pm-6:00pm. The topic will be same both hours, but the content will be different each hour. (The 4:00 class will begin the weekly topic/animal, and the 5:00 class will continue with more about that topic/animal.) One-hour classes cost $120/month for four classes/month, and two-hour classes cost $160/month for four classes/month.

 A great way to learn more about Kids Animal Academy is to attend our “Animal Academy Open House” on Thursday, October 1, 4:30pm-5:30pm. Academy staff will do a short “demo” of what classes will include, plus answer all of your questions. You can make reservations for the Open House at https://www.northgeorgiazoo.com/kids-animal-academy.html

The “Ultimate Monkey & Friends” Experience is now available at the North Georgia Wildlife Park. It had been put on hold due to COVID-19, but now it’s back, complete with required safety precautions, including social distancing, masks, and smaller groups.
Get an up close and hands on experience with some monkeys and their cousins!

This may include any of the following:  Meet Mattie, our Gibbon Ape.  Check out her long fingers when she reaches out to get her favorite treat right out of your hand! Experience the dynamic friendship between her and her best friend, the basset hound Bubbles. The lemurs like to “move it move it” with our guests and may want to pose in your lap or take treats from your hand. Learn about and experience one of the smartest true monkeys- the Capuchin monkey. Watch one open a bottle, figure out a puzzle or paint! The nocturnal bushbaby likes to leap and take treats or may want to pose and listen to the sounds around you.  For a limited time, you will also be able to meet our young lemur Ruby!

(Note - This is not an exclusive or inclusive list of interaction. No animal is guaranteed. Also, Monkey & friends experiences will be modified for guests under the age of 13 to ensure they are suitable and safe for all participants. This is done at the discretion of the lead animal handler.)

The “Monkey & Friends” Experience:
            Includes  3-6 animals Takes approximately 45 minutes.   Please reserve ahead of time to ensure your spot.  Space is limited to six people per experience. Reservations are required.$150 per person (Price includes park admission and a tee shirt. Taxes and fees apply when purchasing tickets online.)

VIRTUAL LEARNING TOOLS FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

One of the groups most impacted by COVID-19 in recent days has been our students and teachers. Whether attending class in person, or virtually, or homeschooling, everything has become more difficult for our kids, and our educators are having to become more creative and resourceful. North Georgia Wildlife Park would like to help!
The Park offers a variety of virtual experiences which are appropriate for both classroom and at-home learning. These experiences can come to you via Facebook, Zoom, or your existing platform, and are led by trained animal educators.  Here are some examples:
Animals Around the World
This is our standard program highlighting a variety of animals and can be tailored to suit most any topic being studied. It includes 6-8 animals, and generally lasts 45-60 minutes. You will see and learn all about one of our feature animals such as a monkey, kangaroo, lemur, spectacled owl, otter, wolf or sloth, then a variety of other smaller animals, such as a chinchilla, hedgehog, snake, guinea pig, ferret or armadillo.
Zippity Zoo
Zippity Zoo is a shorter version of our standard Animals Around the World and features a fun variety of some of our smaller animal friends. It includes 4-5 animals, lasting up to 30 minutes. This is a good option for younger kids that might not have the attention span for longer screen time. Available animals may include hedgehog, chinchilla, 3 banded armadillo, guinea pig, sugar glider, rabbit, baby goat or lamb, chicks and ducks, snake, lizard, baby alligator, giant pixie frog, and others.
Zookeeper Chat
This experience is designed to be viewed on one screen by one person (or small group) at a time. You will meet and interact with an animal keeper and learn all about a specific animal. Zookeeper Chats last 20-30 minutes.

Design Your Own Virtual Experience
Call the North Georgia Wildlife Park  and tell us what you want to do! We will work with you to design an experience that is both entertaining and educational!
