Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden invites youngsters to be a part of an unforgettable autumn adventure! Registration is officially open for Fall Camp Zoofari, happening October 13th-15th.

The “Fall Feast-ival” theme gives campers the chance to discover the fascinating connections in the natural world. From plants to predators, participants will explore how every living thing plays a role in the food chain. The camp combines interactive games, hands-on activities, animal encounters, and guided zoo exploration to make learning both exciting and memorable.

What Mesker Park Zoo Campers Will Experience

During Fall Camp Zoofari, kids will:

  • Learn the difference between carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores.
  • Discover how animals at Mesker Park Zoo are fed and cared for.
  • Explore predator-prey relationships in the wild.
  • Gain a better understanding of where our own food comes from and how it has been domesticated over time.

By blending education with adventure, the camp helps children develop an appreciation for wildlife, ecosystems, and sustainable living.
