Fred Rogers Productions (FRP) and RWS Global to bring the beloved PBS KIDS series "Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood" to life in zoos across the US. The immersive traveling exhibit, "Daniel Tiger’s Grr-ific Day with You," combines the trusted values of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood with the mission of zoos to educate young visitors in playful ways and inspire wildlife advocacy.
“Fred Rogers Productions strives to create media and experiences that model kindness, respect, and an enthusiasm for learning, and our partnership with RWS delivers on that mission in a way that meets families where they are,” said Christopher Arnold, Chief Operating Officer, Fred Rogers Productions. “We are thrilled to bring this unique Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood experience to zoos around the country.”
As families journey through the bilingual English–Spanish experience, they will enjoy activities inspired by Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood as they take in the animal habitats. Daniel Tiger’s signature strategies to introduce life lessons are paired with wildlife exploration encouraging curiosity and reflection at every stop.
“We’re excited to officially kick off our partnership with Fred Rogers Productions and bring the magic of Daniel Tiger to an even broader audience of children at zoos around the country,” said Veronica Hart, Chief Growth Officer, RWS Global. “At RWS Global, we are constantly looking for new ways to engage visitors and we look forward to working together to revolutionize children’s interactive learning and bring more fun to zoos for years to come.”
“We’re honored that the Bronx Zoo will be the first stop for Daniel Tiger’s traveling exhibit. For more than a century, families have come to the Bronx Zoo to connect with wildlife and spark curiosity that lasts a lifetime,” said Meghann Kelley-DiSalvo, Director of Marketing, Wildlife Conservation Society. “Daniel Tiger brings a message of imagination, learning, and discovery that aligns beautifully with our mission, and we’re thrilled to be where this new adventure begins.”
