Wellness Mornings with Wildlife
Connect with wildlife and your inner self during these hour-long classes at Utica Zoo, promoting mental and physical well-being through pilates, yoga, nature walks, drawing, birding, and more…always directly outside a specific animal exhibit.
Summary:
We know how busy life can get, which is why we want to prioritize your well-being. Have you ever wanted to rest, relax, and recharge on zoo grounds? Well, our Wellness Mornings with Wildlife are the perfect opportunity for you! These monthly Saturday classes from 9:00am to 10:00am allow you to start your weekend with a positive mindset.
We’ll be hosting a Wellness Morning with Wildlife each month designed to help you connect with wildlife and your inner self. These hour-long classes promote mental and physical well-being through pilates, yoga, nature walks, drawing, birding, and more. Locations for each class will vary monthly and always be near an animal exhibit to enjoy. Join our Wellness Mornings at Utica Zoo with a family member or friend you’ve been needing to spend quality time with, or devote this hour to yourself.
All classes are BYO (bring your own yoga or pilates mat, notebook, etc.) Sip on complimentary lemon water before, during, or after your class. Feel free to stay and walk around the zoo afterward, as it opens daily at 10:00am and your class ticket includes regular zoo admission.
These classes are rain or shine and will not be accepting refunds. Rained-out classes will take place inside our stunning brand-new Bull Reef exhibit boasting hard and soft salt-water corals, vibrant species of fish, shrimp, crabs, an eel, and more!
Please note that these classes do not include behind the scenes animal experiences, and are simply located outside an animal’s exhibit for viewing throughout the duration of the class.
