## About

Wild Babies is a new Virginia Zoo program for its youngest visitors, geared to children from birth to 4 years and their guardians, though older siblings are welcome. In a small, up-close classroom setting, little ones explore age-appropriate sensory and educational activities. Sessions mix nature and social development through story time, short hikes and an animal encounter. It suits families wanting a gentle, hands-on introduction to animals and nature.
