The Kohler Discovery Center


Education Is Our Mission

Welcome to the Niabi Zoological Society Education Department page! Niabi Zoo offers exciting programs, field trips, and "hands-on" activities for all age groups.

The mission of the education department is to constantly improve the educational value of the Zoo through continuous expansion and upgrading in the areas of exhibits, research opportunities, educational and volunteer programs, and personnel training.

 

The Kohler Discovery Center is located on Niabi Zoo grounds.
The center provides fun interactive displays and activities for all ages!

Displays and hands-on activities will feature habitat. What makes up a habitat? What kinds of animals are found in different habitats? Visit the education center to learn more!
