Once you press register - please fill out ALL questions on the next page. Please refrain from exiting out of EventBrite before doing so. The questions are important and allow us to make this the best experience possible for you.

FALCONERS is designed to allow children or adults of all ages with special needs and unique challenges (such as autism or developmental disabilities) and their whole family to have an enriching educational experience in a safe, welcoming and sensory friendly environment.

By registering you can come in anytime between 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM. All activities will end at 11:30 AM. You can however stay in the zoo and walk around, even after we end but you must be in by 11:30 AM. 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM the zoo is not open to the general public.

Please note: The zoo will be open to the general public starting at 9 AM. Gift Shop and Savanna Grill opens at 10 AM.

The theme for this month is Tiny Tails and Little Paws and all crafts and activities will be created by my intern, Emma! There will be a couple of activities, a craft and snacks as usual. Please be in the zoo early enough to walk through the zoo to reach all of the activities... If you plan to do them. Specific details will be sent out a week before the event to those that register. Activities will be outdoors if the weather is nice and indoors if the weather is cold or inclement.
