Habitat Guided Tour
Habitats are where animals live, and every animal has specific needs based off of where they live! In this tour we will explore the different habitats and biomes animals come from, and how we replicate those spaces here at the zoo!
*This tour meets requirements for the Girls Scouts Animal Habitats Badge and is a perfect fit for your Girl Scout outing!
Enrichment Guided Tour
Do you like getting new things? Well, so do our animals! We give our animals enrichment – a zoo word that means anything novel, unique or exciting for an animal to interact with! So join us on this tour to see some examples of what enrichment looks like at the zoo and how we keep our animals mentally stimulated, active and healthy!
