When school is out, Zoo Camp is in session!
Today's Hours:
8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Visitors: The giant panda house is closed to provide Mei Xiang with a quiet environment. She is showing sensitivity to noise, which is consistent with the final stages of a pregnancy or pseudopregnancy. The best time to see the giant pandas outside is before 9:30 a.m. and at the 1:30 p.m. animal demonstration.
Friends of the National Zoo offers educational programming for people of all ages through camps, classes, overnights, school programs and lectures. Undergraduate, graduate and professional training are offered through the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation.
