Riga ZOO offers a variety of educational lessons and excursions, all of which take up 1-2 hours. Authentic animal parts are used in the lessons and excursions as an interactive learning tool. Live animals are used in all lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excursions consist of two options: How We Are Different and Animals in Latvia\u2019s Nature and Culture. How We Are Different is our most basic and popular excursion with a guided tour of the zoo. Animals in Latvia\u2019s Nature and Culture is part of the national Skolas Soma programme, for which the cost of a guide is free for educational institutions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons consist of two parts: activities in the zoo classroom and a short tour. Riga ZOO offers the lessons listed in the table below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
