Overview

The Outdoor Learning Theater consists of an outdoor amphitheater along with a stage and service building. The Zoo uses the facility for public performances and animal displays.
The facility can accommodate up to 500 people and includes a custom fabric canopy with no interior support columns, making the space very user friendly.
The Outdoor Learning Theater was constructed on the site of the Zoo’s old Herpetarium.
The project also included demolition of the old building, re-grading of the site and installation of new utilities.
