This event is for 2nd Grade VLA students and their families only. All students must be accompanied by an adult.
Join your 2nd grade VLA classmates on a journey through the desert ecosystem at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens! This self-guided tour lets you explore at your own pace, giving you plenty of time to visit with amazing animals from around the world – from cheetahs and giraffes to camels and playful meerkats. Discover diverse plant life, walk the winding trails, and experience hands-on exhibits that bring the desert to life! Perfect for animal lovers and explorers alike, this field trip offers a unique peek into how creatures adapt and thrive in one of the world's hottest climates.
Please keep in mind that space is extremely limited and this field trip is a chance for your VLA student to BOND with their fellow grade level classmates. In order to keep the focus on our students, please limit your tickets to ONE adult per VLA student unless absolutely necessary. You may purchase a maximum of two additional tickets per VLA student if needed.
Sage Oak VLA Student Ticket (VLA 2nd grade only): Free
Sibling Ticket (ages 3 & up): $18
Adult Ticket: $40
***Please read the field trip description carefully. If an accompanying adult ticket is required, be sure to claim an adult ticket. If student/sibling tickets are claimed without accompanying adult tickets, we are not able to provide refunds for canceled student/sibling tickets.
NEW WAITLIST INFO: When a field trip sells out, the waitlist will become available the following morning.
Please note that during school field trips and other school-sponsored community events, photos and videos may be taken where students could appear in group settings. While we make every effort to respect media preferences, students may sometimes be captured in the background or within group shots in public spaces. If your child does not have media consent on file, they will not be the main focus of any photo or video. We do not highlight or identify individuals without prior consent."
