Kids Kingdom

As an intern in Kids Kingdom, you will have an opportunity to work with a variety of animals, including California sea lions, white-tailed deer, North American river otters, beavers, African hornbills, barn owls, turkey, gray kangaroo, miniature donkeys, goats, sheep, llama, camel, binturong, some reptiles and small domestic animals. 

Along with the daily care of the animals, interns will be exposed to training, enrichment, and public speaking for sea lion demonstrations. We require interns to work two days a week for 12 weeks. Winter work hours (Labor Day to Memorial Day) are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Summer interns (Memorial Day to Labor Day) work one day 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and one day 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., so that you can learn how to open and close yards.

There are three internship periods:
