Frequently asked questions.

I’m an Educator, how can I use zoolife in the classroom?

Having zoolife available to your students brings learning to life with real-time animal experiences. Use it for curriculum-aligned lessons on biodiversity, habitats, and animal behaviors. It’s also great for transitions, mindfulness, and after-school projects—helping students refocus after breaks. Younger students can learn colors, counting, and language through engaging animal content.

For virtual field trips, zoolife provides access to wildlife for schools unable to visit zoos through live Q&A sessions with animal experts!

Is there a free trial?

You can get started with zoolife for free! Educators can explore a selection of non-premium animal habitats, and access one sample lesson plan and student activity to see how the platform works in their classroom.

If you'd like to unlock all premium habitats and get access to all educator-exclusive resources like lesson plans, activities, and worksheets, you'll need to upgrade to an Educator membership.
