Zooniversity - The Teaching Zoo That Comes To You!

Serving North Texas & surrounding states

Zooniversity is an animal ed-venture! Zooniversity is a traveling wildlife education company that introduces children and adults to the fascinating world of exotic animals. Each year we deliver more than 700 zoology enrichment classes, stage shows and exhibits at schools, libraries, churhes, scouts, community and corporate events and private parties throughout Texas and surrounding states. We have just the exotic animal education program you're looking for. We offer fun, hands-on learning for all kinds of events and for groups of all sizes. We even offer special themes for those hard-to-entertain preschoolers and special needs students. Zooniversity LLC is privately owned, fully insured, federally licensed by the USDA, and we hold all the required state, county and city permits for the animals we care for-ensuring you that you're hiring wildlife professionals.

Our Educational Programs

Educational programs are offered for both small and large groups and are limited to students ages 3 years and older. In each Zooniversity program, a professional wildlife educator will introduce your audience to our living animal ambassadors. You'll learn where each animal comes from, what it eats, how it survives, and other fascinating (or just plain weird) animal facts. We'll also share the rescue stories and tragic histories of some of our program animals -- because there is much more to learn about these beautiful creatures than just the textbook facts.

Our Party Program

Children turning 6 years and older can treat their party guests to a private wildlife show by our professional educators -- the perfect hand-on program for any animal-loving child, including those 'tweens and teens! Recommended for 10-15 guests (firm maximum of 20 guests). Indoors only (no mess involved). Optional balloon animals and guest photo sitting, too!

Our Animals

Meet Zooniversity's collection of live animal ambassadors-the creepy, the cute and the cuddly! We have more than 50 species of exotic animals from which to choose -- you're sure to have more than one favorite. Most of the animals in our care came to us as injured wildlife, abandoned "pets" or rescues from deplorable captive conditions. Now, they all enjoy a safe and pampered existence at our Zooniversity facility. They all have spacious homes, nutritious zoological diets, a schedule of proper veterinary care and daily enrichment and socialization activities. We have no petting zoo or farm animals. For safety reasons, we do not offer primates or large cats.
