ZooMobile Outreach

ZooMobile offers an up-close, hands-on experience with live animals in your classroom. ZooMobile programs have been developed for specific grade levels in accordance with the themes listed in the California Science Content Standards. For those who prefer to come to the Zoo, Close Encounters offer the same lessons in our Zoo classrooms.

ZooMobile runs from September through mid-June each year. Each lesson can accommodate up to 35 students, and up to four presentations can be offered on a single day. Call (415) 753-8123 to schedule a ZooMobile visit.

These offer students the opportunity to experience animals in a real, visual way. While they dont necessarily focus just on insects, they compare insects and other animals.


Happy Hollow also does assemblies that combine learning about insects with learning about other animals.

Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Insects!
What makes a mammal a mammal, a bird a bird, a reptile a reptile, or an insect an insect? Discover the characteristics that define each of these animal groups. Classes may be taken as a 4 week series with 1 animal group discussed per class or all 4 animal groups in one class.
