Home to over 100 species! The unique experience of hand feeding 100s of animals. Being neck and neck with our giraffes, spotting an emerging kangaroo or rubbing elbows with our antelope, engages and educates guests of all ages.

Don’t worry, be capy…it “tapirs” you’re in for a treat today!

Few things make a visit more unforgettable than sharing a Capybara and Tapir encounters with your fellow animal lovers!

Join our keepers on exhibit & behind the scenes for an interactive, educational and hands on experience!

Start with entering our Capybara Exhibit, meeting our adult capybaras! They absolutely love your joining them, to offer treats and scratches, while learning about this critter crew!

Then transition to meet Tucker the Tapir! This amazing species has so many interesting facts to be shared – and of course he is an absolute sweetheart – welcoming your brushes and treats!

Summer is almost here and our African Black Footed Penguins’ swimming skills are in mid season form!

While you may not realize it watching them waddle on land, these guys are incredibly strong and agile swimmers.

African Black Footed Penguins can reach speeds of over 15 miles per hour while diving and can hold their breath for more than 2 minutes at a time while hunting for food!

They’ll be waiting for you poolside during your visit today!
