Zoo Atlanta's Keeper for a Day: Elephants runs Sunday, October 4, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Zambezi Elephant Center.
Participants spend the morning working alongside the Elephant Care Team to prepare the habitat for the day. Expect hands-on chores such as raking, sweeping, hosing, scrubbing and shoveling, plus a chance to meet team members, meet an animal and learn about the zoo's positive reinforcement training and enrichment programs. Participation is voluntary for the animals.
The program is for ages 16 and up and costs $360, or $325 for members, with Zoo admission after the program included. Group size is limited to two participants per session, and registration is on the official page.
