Bringing Students Closer To Nature...
Discounted Admission is $3 for students, $5 for chaperones.
Encounter chatty parrots, tittering tamarins, and much more. Experience
a “giraffe’s eye-view” of a 4.5 acre mixed species African Savannah
exhibit from our elevated walkway. 10:30 am daily public giraffe feeding
allows students to meet our “gentle giants” first hand ($1.00 per
person). Howl with coyotes. Gobble with turkeys. Feed friendly goats or
curious deer and elk (.25 for feed). For even more hands-on experiences
schedule on-site guided encounters in our zoo amphitheater featuring
insects, reptiles and small mammals.
