Brief Program Description:
Although the ZOOmobile is not traveling away from the Zoo currently due to COVID-19 precautions, you can still enjoy a ZOOmobile program with your group! We have reimagined some of our most popular ZOOmobile programs as virtual experiences.

Virtual ZOOmobile Programs are 30-minute live, interactive presentations featuring up-close encounters with three of the Zoo’s Animal Ambassadors. You can schedule your private program on Tuesdays through Saturdays. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date availability and to register.

REGISTRATION FEE: $230 per private session

Different topics are available, and you are welcome to book more than one Virtual ZOOmobile Program! For each session, we recommend no more than 25 viewers, but we can also see larger groups of up to 100 viewers. We are able to accommodate various group layouts and needs. For example, we can see one group in a classroom, several groups in several rooms, groups logging in individually from home, or a combination. We typically use Zoom but are also able to log into your virtual space using Zoom or Google Meet.

Although this information is primarily for our Virtual ZOOmobile programs, we are also welcoming groups to visit us at the Zoo! For more information about pricing, our most up-to-date covid precautions, and more, please visit our website – https://www.marylandzoo.org/.
