This program is perfect for any child with a fascination for the diversity of life on Earth, an interest in animal husbandry, or in future careers in veterinary science, education or other zoology related subjects. With our ever growing collection of rescued and adopted animals, children will have access to an amazing assemblage of creatures, representing diverse species and ecosystems. Animal Embassy is full of surprises; get a front row seat to the action and excitement with this incredible hands-on offering. Although not a prerequisite, this is excellent training for any student that may be interested in our intern program for high school and college students.
