Little Explorer Thursday at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

Bring your little ones to this free Thursday program at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in Saint Paul. Families can settle in for story time, play games, and enjoy hands-on activities that invite early explorers to learn through play. You and your child can listen to a story, join interactive games, and discover a different theme each week. The setting shifts with the seasons, moving outdoors on the zoo grounds in summer and indoors to the Visitor Center in winter. Many Thursdays also include ASL interpretation for story time, a zookeeper talk, and the Blaze Sparky and Friends presentation, creating a welcoming outing for families with young children.
