Stay updated about BPZOO’s ongoing improvements and animal visibility.
Animal Ambassador Building
Coming Spring 2025!
The Buttonwood Park Zooâs Animal Ambassador program was started in 2014. The environmental education based program introduces children and adults to wildlife through up-close exposure to animals. The education animals serve as ambassadors of their species and of wild animals in general. The âambassadorsâ stimulate interest and appreciation, dispel myths and fears, emotionally connect visitors to wildlife and stir all those they encounter to action.Â
Charlie’s Nature Play
Coming Spring 2025
Charlieâs Nature Play space is a rich environment that will stimulate a childâs natural curiosity and creativity through multi-sensory, hands-on activities. The Zoo has partnered with Nature Explore, a national research based company, to design this natural learning center using the best educational theories and practices.
