Introduce the zoo to your listeners. Include the name of the zoo and where it is located, so that your audience knows which zoo or zoos you are about to discuss.
Describe the permanent exhibits at the zoo. Inform your audience as to which animals are found at the zoo throughout the year.
Highlight the special visitors to the zoo. In addition to the year-round animal exhibits, some zoos have special visitors throughout the year. This might include a group of penguins in the winter or tropical birds in the summer. Explain the origins of these guests and where in the zoo they can be found.
Introduce some of the educational experiences at the zoo. If the zoo has guided tours or seminars to discuss animal life, let your audience know how to sign up for the events. Frequently, this will involve contacting the zoo directly to sign up for a class. The zoo may offer special classes on the mating or eating habits of specific types of animals, for example.
Inform your audience of special events the zoo might host during the year, such as holiday celebrations.
Mention features that might be important to special groups. If you are giving a speech to elderly guests, highlight services for them, such as wheelchair rentals or tram cars that run through the zoo. For parents, items such as stroller rentals and petting zoos are of interest.
