About this Event

May 2025 Self Guided Safari

Description: Schedule an unguided walk through the zoo and go at your own pace! Our 28-acre grounds with outdoor trails is the ideal way to get students outdoors in a safe environment. Add to the educational experience by downloading our standards-based guides on our Learning Yurt teacher resource page at https://www.alaskazoo.org/the-learning-yurt.

Grade Levels: Pre-K-12th grade (all ages welcome). Groups must be education classrooms, private schools or homeschools.

Safari Rates: $10/student, $14/adult. Ages 2 and under are free and counted at the gate. These rates are only offered to education groups who reserve in advance through this online system. Groups who arrive unscheduled will pay full admission rates. Self-Guided Safaris must be reserved and made at least 1 week prior to your visit.

Payment may be made in the following ways:

  • Pay at the gate with a credit card, check or cash. Have one organized payment and a completed admissions form before you arrive (form emailed after registration).
  • NO REFUNDS will be given for missing students.
  • N o invoicing in the 2024/2025 school year.

If adults are zoo members and would like to use their membership at the gate, they can do so for Self Guided Safari field trips. This only applies to adult zoo members, not students. All students must pay the $10 field trip fee regardless of membership.

Additional terms of entry:

  • Arrive at the scheduled time with a completed admissions form.
  • Arrive with an accurate count of students and adults.
  • Arrive witih one form of organized payment.
  • Individuals coming separately may be charged full admission.
  • Please bring your registration ticket (attached to your confirmation email) in printed form or with the barcode pulled up on your phone for scanning at the gate.
  • When you arrive, wait on the bus for a zoo educator to greet you.
  • Payment will be handled before everyone gets off the bus.
  • We ask teachers and chaperones to keep students on the trails at all times and off of trail fences. Please encourage respectful behavior toward zoo animals.

Ratio: You must have a ratio of 1 adult per 5 students for your safety at the zoo. Ages 12 and over need 1 adult per 10 students.

Reserve Your Field Trip: When you click the button to select your date, you will see time options. The arrival times are listed by 15 minute intervals here. If you do not see the date and time you need listed in our options, you can contact [email protected]. We will always make room for your group!

Once you complete your reservation, you will receive an automatic confirmation email. One week before your program, a zoo educator will contact you via email with our Teacher Checklist, Animal List, SGS packets, Map, and Admissions Form. You will complete an Admissions Form which should be brought to the zoo and presented upon arrival. This form will include your final numbers of students and adults.

Thank you for planning a zoo visit with your students!
