Discovery Stops

North Carolina Zoo Discovery Stops offers a unique series of interactive presentations throughout the day. These are not traditional theater performances but rather educational encounters designed to highlight various animals, conservation efforts, or botanical features within the zoo's collection. It's a chance to learn directly from zoo educators and get a closer look at what makes the North Carolina Zoo special. This event takes place on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the North Carolina Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Asheboro, NC. These stops are typically informal, pop-up style experiences happening at different locations around the grounds, making them a good fit for families, curious individuals, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of wildlife and plants during their visit.
