Musical Menagerie: KC Symphony Petting Zoo

We tag along at the Kansas City Symphony Instrument Petting Zoo which travels to area classrooms to give elementary students the opportunity to see and hear the different instruments of the orchestra.

You’ve heard of a petting zoo, but what about an instrument petting zoo? It’s one of the Kansas City Symphony’s outreach projects designed to get younger kids up close and personal with the instruments of the orchestra.

Area Schools can sign up for the Kansas City Symphony Instrument Petting Zoo.

Because of extensive demand for this engaging program, it is preferred that second, third, and fourth grade students have the first opportunity to receive its benefits. Visits to classrooms are available for either morning or afternoon during one of the seven weeks listed.

Zoos will be filled in the order requests & signed contracts are received, with no request considered less than one week prior to the Zoo date. A maximum of three 45-minute sections may be held during one visit, with each section ideally consisting of no more than 80 students.
