School Groups

Brights Zoo is currently open for school groups by reservation only. We ask that appointments be scheduled at least seven days in advance. Visits are guided tours lead by knowledgeable staff and each tour averages two to three hours in length.

Education Group Field Trips

Your group can experience the wonders of animal species from around the world at Brights Zoo. Think of our park as living, changing, growing parts of our community. There's always something new to discover and learn about, whether it flies, swims, or walks!

For education groups, we offer one free teacher admission for every 10 paid students.

Additional adults or siblings may accompany the group at a rate of $15 per person, if paid in one lump sum with the school payment, or $15 plus tax payable at the gate.
