FALCONERS January 2026 Potter Park Zoo

Once your press register - please fill out ALL questions on the next page. Please refrain from exiting out of EventBrite before doing so. These 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 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. All activities will end at 1:00 PM. You can however stay in the zoo and walk around, even after we end but you must be in by 11:00 PM. The zoo is open to the general public during this time but it is less busy due to the weather.

Gift Shop opens at 10 AM.

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. All activities will be indoors.
