STEAM Day

STEAM Day at John Ball Zoo offers kids a hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math all in one visit. Your family will have the chance to try robotics, learn a musical instrument, design an exhibit, and discover what it takes to be a "penguineer." Local schools and community organizations bring their expertise to the zoo, creating interactive stations that spark curiosity and show real-world applications of STEM learning. This event works well for kids who love tinkering, building, and learning through play. Whether your child is already passionate about these subjects or just exploring what interests them, there's plenty to discover. It's a great way to combine a zoo visit with educational activities that feel more like fun adventures than classroom lessons.
