With school almost out, now is a great time to sign up the kids
for the new Cleveland Metroparks Kids Club!
Kids Club members, ages 12 & under, receive a Passport and
throughout the year, Cleveland Metroparks and the Zoo will offer
special events, programming and other activities for kids to earn
stickers for their Passports. If a member receives at least
12 stickers, they can attend an end-of-the-year party!
Cleveland Metroparks Kids Club brings kids closer to nature by
sharing with them the importance of conservation, education and
recreation with activities, exploration and fun experiences
year-round in Cleveland Metroparks and the Zoo! Kids can apply what
they learn to help preserve Cleveland Metroparks and the
environment. So, join today and start having fun!
With almost 1,000 kids already registered, Cleveland Metroparks
Kids Club has given kids some wonderful experiences to get
up-and-close to nature. Some have gone fishing, others ran
the Zoo, many have hiked and enjoyed a campfire, and the rest are
waiting for other wonderful activities and programs from now until
November!
Kids can enjoy nature hikes throughout Cleveland Metroparks
22,000+ acres, participate in hands-on activities at the nature
centers, special events, behind-the-scene tours, and much more.
Plus, during the school year, a club member can win a chance
to have an Outdoor Education staff person put on a program for
their classmates at their school.
Some of the events kids can earn Passport stickers are public

Zoo. And, some are exclusive events and programs for Kids
