Hands-on animal encounters!

Hands-on encounters are currently available with -

* Sloth * Frilled Dragon * Baby Alligators * Naked Mole Rats * Yawari Possum

There is a 15 minute time limit for Sloth encounters to minimize stress.  Children under 12 must have a paying adult present.  Encounter price does not include zoo admission, it must be purchased separately / person.  We do accept walk-ins for encounter's, however, we only allow so many per day.  For example, Sloth encounters are limited to a maximum of 3 per day, (up to 4 people in a group per encounter.)  Encounters booked online prior to that day will have priority over walk-ins.

The zoo is open Tuesday - Sunday from 1pm - 6pm.  Encounters are available Tuesday - Sunday from 1pm - 5:30pm, so please plan accordingly.

What to expect?  That depends on the species.  With smaller species such as a baby Alligators or Naked Mole Rats, you get to hold the animal!  For a Sloth encounter you will be taken into the Sloth enclosure with an employee to assist and answer any questions you may have.  Although you aren't allowed to hold a Sloth, you will be able to touch, pet and feed them!

To schedule an encounter follow these simple steps:

Step One - Add zoo admission to cart for anyone wishing to enter the zoo.

Step Two - Add the encounter(s) to cart for each person wanting to participate.

Step Three - Check out.

When checking out, it will give you an option to send us a note.  Please use this space to enter the day and time you would like the encounter.
