One.
Why do I get to list three animals during online registration?
The animals in Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's care can choose to participate in programming. You are asked to list three (3) animals in case your first choice of ambassador animal does not choose to or is unable to attend your meeting. Ambassador animals may be subject to change due to animal welfare or health concerns.
What video conference platform is used for this program?
If Cleveland Metroparks Zoo hosts the meeting, it will be offered using Zoom. One week before your scheduled meeting date, you will receive a virtual meeting invite by email from our education team. On the day of your Virtual Get Close, you will need to access this meeting invite to log into your registered experience and meet your Zoo instructor and ambassador animal.
If you are hosting the meeting and want an animal from the Zoo to join your meeting, please indicate that during registration. A member of the education team will then reach out to you after your purchase for those meeting invite details.
