Denver Zoo’s Education Department’s mission is to connect audiences to animals and the environment, inspire respect and appreciation of the natural world, and empower audiences to make informed conservation choices.

	Adult Programs Our adult programs offer a wealth of educational opportunities designed to help “big kids” explore all that the Zoo has to offer.
	Red Apple Fund for Lifelong Learning Denver Zoo provides financial assistance for individuals, families, groups and schools whose financial situation may otherwise prevent them from participating in a program.
