Zovargo provides live animal education and entertainment services, specializing in customizable in-person animal experiences for schools, libraries, preschools, scouts, parties, and special events in San Diego.
The company brings up to five carefully selected animals to each session, tailoring presentations by age group and audience size. Program options include short preschool sessions composed of two interactive 25-minute presentations, one-hour classroom programs for grade school and middle school audiences, school assemblies featuring five animals, and flexible animal party packages for groups of 1–15 or 16–35 attendees. Zovargo also offers scout programs, including one-hour badge-earning sessions and three-hour Girl Scout "journey-in-a-day" experiences, plus live-animal library presentations aligned with seasonal themes.
Presentations emphasize safety, education, and hands-on engagement where appropriate. Staff coordinate with hosts to choose themes, adjust learning objectives, and confirm logistics for special events such as galas or conferences using an animal experience booth format. Programs are designed to meet the needs of educators, librarians, event planners, and parents seeking memorable, curriculum-supporting encounters with wildlife.
Bookings are arranged by direct contact to discuss personalized details, group size, timing, and theme. Zovargo’s model focuses on delivering memorable, age-appropriate interactions that encourage curiosity about animals and conservation. The organization’s programs are suitable for young children through adult audiences, and they prioritize safe handling, educational value, and adaptable delivery at the host’s chosen location. Each visit may include up to five animals and age-appropriate hands-on interactions. Teachers and hosts can request specific themes, tailor session length, and select animals based on group size.
