Hello AALEADers and Friends!

YOU are invited to attend our annual Smithsonian Zoo field trip with AALEAD! Come see the new pandas, Bao Li and Qing Bao, and ALL of the other amazing exhibits the zoo has to offer.

You are also automatically entered into AALEAD's panda-themed raffle (think plushies and building blocks) when you attend this trip. Each new friend you bring is another raffle ticket for you!

This is a FREE ticketed event. Friends are welcome, but MUST complete an intake form.

Registration will close at 11:59 PM on April 10, 2025 OR when we reach 30 youth registrants.

All youth must complete an AALEAD intake form to attend (we will email you if you do not have a completed form).
