Using our animals, the acres of parks land located directly behind our building, and our knowledgeable and dedicated staff, APEC strives to educate both children and adults. We try to foster a sense of responsibility in all who walk through our doors; a responsibility to wildlife, the natural environment surrounding us, and our sustainable future. We offer environmental programs for children starting as young as 18 months, high school volunteer and internship programs, college courses, teacher workshops, and family and adult programs designed to teach and inspire.
