Event Details
The Hattiesburg Zoo is proud to offer the opportunity to bring a little bit of our zoo right to you!
The Hattiesburg Zoo's Outreach Program is designed to bring a bit of the Zoo to schools, libraries and other community-based facilities in an effort to educate children and adults about different animal species, their care, importance in the world and their conservation status. Zoo residents make visits to these facilities with the assistance of the Zoo's Outreach Coordinator.
Small snowballs will also be provided courtesy of The Sweet Escape of Pass Christian!
