There’s a new way to get to know the residents of the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary! New Zookeeper Chats are now offered every Thursday through Sunday, and are included with regular admission.

During these scheduled chats, visitors can learn fun facts, hear the unique stories of the zoo’s animal residents, and ask questions while watching zookeepers work alongside the animals in their care. It’s a fun, behind-the-scenes opportunity to learn more about the animals and the people who care for them.

Zookeeper Chat times and featured animals vary each day. Visitors should check the Keeper Chat board at the front of the zoo upon arrival for the day’s schedule and updates.
