## About

Stroller Safari is Turtle Back Zoo's monthly guided walk for children ages 1 to 4 with a caregiver. The November session, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM, looks at ungulates (hoofed animals) while a zoo educator leads the group through that area of the zoo, pointing out the natural world through a young child's eyes. The tour itself lasts 30 to 40 minutes and stays mostly outdoors rain or shine, so dress for the weather. Meet at the Komodo Dragon statue just inside the zoo entrance 10 to 15 minutes early. This is not a drop-off program, every attendee needs a program ticket, and zoo admission is separate for non-members.
