Homeschool Programs
Mark your calendars for another exciting year of Homeschool Monday programs at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden! Each month we offer a new set of classes that will focus on a particular topic, include hands-on activities and feature live animal encounters or guided Zoo tours. Topics change monthly so you can visit again and again!
