NOTE: there are TWO different dates for the Brevard Zoo Trippin'. Make sure you are registering for the correct one!    

                                    The private tour will begin in a classroom at Brevard Zoo where Zach Marchetti (popular LIFE at UCF speaker) will captivate our group with high-energy as he shares his immense knowledge during a brief presentation/update on the future Port Canaveral Bowen Aquarium. We will then be lead into the Zoo and the Animal Cognitive Research Center in the Spider Monkey Complex to discuss the zoo's research. We will move deeper into the zoo to the Giraffe Platform with discussion about the care necessary to care for these magnificent 17 foot tall animals! Zach will be able to answer any questions relating to this highly acclaimed, growing zoo.                                                                                                                                         The entire walking distance for the tour is less than a mile. There are benches along the way and wheel chairs are available for rent. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, reusable water bottle and dress for the weather (sun hat, umbrella, sunscreen, etc)

There is plenty of free parking in the zoo's parking lot.

Cost for this very special Trippin' through LIFE event, is $57 and is all inclusive of zoo fees and gratuity/donation.  You will receive s refund if you cancel by January 2. after that date, you will only be refunded if someone on the wait list is willing and able to take your reservation.

If you must cancel, consider the people on the wait list. It is easy to cancel yourself and is MUCH faster than contacting Jackie through the LIFE email OR any Trippin’ committee member!                                                                                                                                                                    1) go to Member 365, which will open in your account.                                                                                                                                                         2) at the top of the page there is a black bar with “events” click and use the drop-down menu to “My Event Registration,” click that button and follow the prompts ALL THE WAY TO THE END.                                                                                                                                                       This will cancel you and IMMEDIATELY notify all members on the wait list. This will benefit both of you since if one of those wait listed people takes your spot, you will receive a refund after the cancellation deadline, January 2nd.

You do not need your confirmation for this event, but you WILL need to bring the filled out waiver form available at: https://lifeatucf.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/LIFE-Trip-Waiver.pdf (this form is also accessible under the Trippin' through LIFE drop down menu on our lifeatucf.org   website.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WRITE YOUR UCF/LIFE PID ID# ON THE LAST LINE!!!

PRO TIP: Many LIFE member who attend Trippin’ events keep copies of the waiver in their car, either in the glove compartment or in the space on the back of the driver’s or passenger sheet; that way one will always be handy! 

Trippin' through LIFE is a benefit of membership. Only current LIFE at UCF members may register.
