Get ready for a wild experience!
The Instrument Petting Zoo brings kids (and grown-ups) an up-close and personal encounter with a menagerie of musical instruments at community events throughout San Luis Obispo County.
Symphony Zookeepers will introduce you to all of the well-loved and well-used instruments in our collection, and help you figure out how to make some noise! Learn more about the different types of instruments, how each one creates a unique sound, and how they are played.
For many of the children who visit the Instrument Petting Zoo, this is the first chance they get to see, touch and play a real orchestral instrument. When you support the Instrument Petting Zoo, you are helping area children to start a lifelong adventure with music!
