The ZooMobile program has brought conservation education outreach programs to the community since 1986.
Programs are offered year-round for people of all ages. The ZooMobile visits schools, daycare centers, preschools, nursing homes, adult day facilities, libraries, colleges, and many other organizations, as well as participates in community events within Rochester and the surrounding areas.
Our mission is to inspire our community to connect, care for, and conserve wildlife and wild places. The Seneca Park Zoo brings this inspiration to you through the ZooMobile, with our ambassador animals and hands-on citizen science projects.
Please fill out the form below if you are interested in booking the ZooMobile. Dates requested must be at least three weeks in advance.
