Our Walk with the Animals tour is an all day experience that a true animal lover will never forget. It is the highest level of contact with the animals that we offer, catered and designed just for you! Spend as much time as possible with the animals you prefer (within the scope of regulations and safety considerations for both our guests and our animals). Our day and our animals are dedicated to you for up to six hours! Your ultimate experience includes a catered continental breakfast and deli-lunch with a wine and cheese finale at the end of your unforgettable day! We will help send you off with unforgettable photos and videos and a custom embroidered shirt to commemorate a magical day spent on the Wild Side. This tour is best complemented with a stay in our Vision Quest Ranch-Safari Bed and Breakfast afterwards. Click Here for more info or to book now.

Feeding time for our Big Cats is one of the most exciting activities at the zoo, even for our volunteers and trainers and you can be a part of it! You will see first hand how instinctual behavior takes over, and why safety and training protocols are so critical. Crunch Time is fun, exciting and extremely educational. Tour times are announced daily but generally they happen between 4:30 and 5:30 PM, lasting 30 to 45 minutes. This is an awesome way to get close to and learn about the behaviors of these magnificent animals. Click Here for more info or to book now.
