Project Overview

The Minnesota Zoomobile brings an educational and entertaining environmental experience to their audience. Live animals, biological artifacts, story telling, audience participation, and theater techniques bring a personal, fun, and energetic program for people of all ages. Since the main goal of the Zoomobile is to provide a sense of complexity and diversity of all life on earth, the naturalists provide a foundation of information and knowledge for their audience as they capture the imaginations and stimulate curiosities about the natural world and the history and culture that goes along with it.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There was nothing but good comments about this program! Participants loved the variety of animals that the Zoomobile brought and enjoyed that the presenters had audience participation throughout the show. The presenter talked about different animals and their relation to Minnesota and the history behind them. The Zoomobile brought some animals native to our state and educated the audience about the ecological and cultural concepts unique to Minnesota.
