Come join us on Saturday, November 7th for Wild About Educators, the Birmingham Zoo’s educator appreciation day event! From 10:00am to 2:00pm, the Learning Department is hosting a series of fun interactive booths complete with engaging activities and educational displays. Come learn what a day in the life of a Birmingham Zoo Volunteer looks like, what Passion into Conservation Action (PiCA) means, how ordinary people become extraordinary zookeepers and much more! Educator Discount Educators will receive $15 general admission for themselves and up to 3 guests (party of 4 in total). To clarify, this means $15 admission for the educator and $15 admission for each guest up to 3 guests. Educators are defined here as active teachers, local and out-of-state educators, informal educators, and administrative support staff. Educators must present a valid educator ID or relevant documentation and a photo ID to take advantage of these discounts. The “Wild About Educators” event will run from 10:00am to 2:00pm, however the educator discount will be available for the entire day (Saturday, 11/07/2026).
