CALM’s mission is to teach a respect for all living things through education, recreation, conservation and research. We will gladly assist you in teaching the state science standards to your students. The California Living Museum (CALM) is now accepting reservations for school field trips and assemblies.
Bring your group to the Zoo
We offer discounted rates to the zoo for school groups: $4.00 per child and $6.00 per adult
A minimum of 1 adult is required for each 10 students (1st- 12th) and 1 per 5 for Kindergarten and Pre-K.
The fee includes:
~ Admission to the zoo
~ Wildlife program
~ Reserved pavilion area for lunch or snack
For basic zoo visit, prices are $3.00 for children and $5.00 for adults.
Bring the Zoo to you
If you are unable to come to the zoo, CALM also offers a traveling education program which includes ambassador animals for your school assembly. Topics and times vary for different grade levels, but all are designed to meet the state science content standards and include four to six ambassador animals. The fee for the first assembly is $225.00 and an additional $195.00 for a second assembly following the first. There will be a $.50 per mile charge after 40 miles round trip.
For a more intimate program for your students, CALM will bring the ambassador animals to your classroom. The fee for a classroom visit is $95.00; include a second consecutive classroom visit for a reduced fee of $85.00. There will be a $.50 per mile charge after 40 miles round trip.
Thank you for considering CALM to enrich life science for your students.
