Have you ever wondered what a morning in the life of a zookeeper is like? Are you interested in animals and want to know firsthand how zookeepers give amazing care to the animals at the SF Teaching Zoo?

Sign up for our "Zookeeper for a Day" program to work alongside a zookeeper for a morning and learn the ins and outs of zookeeping.

This program is available for animal enthusiasts ages 9 and up.

If you are considering applying to the Zoo Animal Technology Program, this is a great opportunity to get a sneak peak of what your experience working here would look like.

You must register at least 2 weeks in advance and all registrations must be through Showpass.

This program has limited availability and books up every semester. Due to this, Zookeeper for a Day bookings are non-refundable with less than 10 days notice of cancellation. If you cancel more than 10 days prior to your experience, you are eligible for a refund.

This program is offered certain days from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. At this time, Zookeeper for a Day is limited to one person per day.

Due to special events and the nature of the Zoo Animal Technology Program, there are blocks of time when the program is not available so zookeepers can have proper training and prepare for events.
