Tuesday, May 17- Ft. Worth Zoo Field Trip Information

The following information should help us ensure that we have a fun experience for all.

Your child should wear his/her O. C. Taylor T-shirt, sunscreen, comfortable tennis shoes, hat/sunglasses (optional)

Your child should bring a disposable sack lunch and a water bottle (refill stations are available throughout the zoo and in the zoo restaurants).

We will not visit the gift shop so please do not send money with your child. Chaperones, we respectfully ask that you do not purchase items for the children in your group, including your own child. Children can become upset when another child or group has "all the things" and they do not. Feel free to ask a 2nd-grade teacher any clarifying questions/concerns that you may have regarding this request. We appreciate your understanding.

Schedule: We will depart O.C. Taylor at 9:15 a.m. and arrive at the FW Zoo around 9:45. We will enter the zoo when it opens at 10:00. Chaperones will need to purchase tickets at the gate and then meet your group inside the zoo on the other side of the bridge (near the flamingo exhibit and monkey house).

10:00-11:30 Visit the exhibits

11:30-12:00ish Lunch. There are various picnic areas located throughout the zoo.

12:00-1:00 Visit the exhibits

1:00 Return to the front of the zoo. We will have children line up by homeroom class, take a headcount, and then load the buses. We will leave the zoo and return to O.C. Taylor.

Chaperones: We will send a paper copy of the schedule, including your group members, in your child's GREAT Tiger folder on Monday.
