Special Experiences Include:

Embark on a half-mile walk through our 23-acre zoo, home to hundreds of animals that you can see, pet, and feed. The feeding experience is included with your admission, ensuring a fun and interactive encounter with our animals from the moment you arrive. Most of our animals are bottle-fed and hand-raised, making them incredibly tame and friendly—offering you a unique, up-close experience like no other. If you prefer a more relaxed visit, you can enjoy a self-guided walk through the zoo for just $20 per person (children 2 and under are free). Come for an unforgettable experience with our loving, hand-raised animals!
