Conveniently located in Belvidere, just next to Rockford and minutes from I-90!
The cost for a field trip is $14 per person with a minimum fee of $560. This reserves the zoo for your group for two hours and includes an educational guided tour of all of the species at the zoo. The tour lasts between 1 hour and 1.5 hours - depending upon the number of questions and attention span of the group.  The remainder of the time can be used for lunch, snacks, meeting, or a lesson plan.
