Greeters are among the first to welcome visitors to the Elmwood Park Zoo. They are responsible for offering warm welcomes and farewells to all guests, answering questions about the zoo, and providing accurate information regarding directions, events, feeding times, exhibits, and locations of buildings. Other responsibilities include: using touchable artifacts such as pelts and feathers to keep visitors entertained while waiting in line; handing out maps; directing groups to their appropriate on-site program locations; help direct guests to appropriate admission lines during peak season; and administering Guest Experience Surveys. Android tablets will be provided to assist the volunteers in answering guest questions.
