Enjoy a Little Something Extra
Rooted in the Louisiana tradition of a little something extra, these activites are designed to give you and your family an added dose of fun, education, and entertainment.
Join us throughout the year for unique activities to connect with wildlife and enjoy the beautiful grounds of the Alexandria Zoo.
Activities are included with regular admission.
Healthy You at the Zoo
Saturday, March 28 | 10 AM - 2 PM
Join us for Healthy You at the Zoo, a fun and interactive wellness experience hosted by the LSU AgCenter. Explore hands-on demonstrations, nutrition tips, fitness inspiration, and practical tools you can use at home.
From learning how to make smarter food choices to discovering simple ways to stay active, this event blends fresh air, movement, and meaningful learning in a setting that inspires healthy habits.
Don’t forget your favorite stuffed friend! As part of the event, families are invited to participate in a special Teddy Bear Clinic — a hands-on discovery of veterinary care at Alexandria Zoo.
