Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion

10/23/2026

Thank you, Payson!

Our first Free Thursday at The Zoo at Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion was an overwhelming success with 90 visitors stopping by to check out Payson's Wildest Attraction. And, again, we apologize for our inconsistent opening hours as our winter Canine Rattlesnake Aversion Training schedule heats up! We will be closed this weekend (10/23-25) for our Yuma Canine Rattlesnake Aversion Training.

We will be back with another Free Thursday soon, in addition to other great discounted Thursday night events.

We are, first and foremost, a dog training company. During the fall and winter, we travel extensively throughout the hotter parts of our state conducting our lifesaving Canine Rattlesnake Aversion Training before it heats up again next spring. As a result, the Zoo has had some inconsistent and limited hours recently to facilitate dog training.

This weekend (10/23-25) we will be closed for training in Lake Havasu City. However, to make up for it we will be open this Thursday evening (October 22) from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. with FREE ADMISSION.

The Zoo will be closed this weekend for our lifesaving Canine Rattlesnake Aversion Training in Apache Junction and Kingman.

Why is Rural AZ's largest provider of Lifesaving Canine Rattlesnake Aversion Training based right here in Payson???? All the Rattlesnakes of course!

This pretty pair of AZ Black Rattlesnakes were found on the outskirts of Payson (one of 5 rattlesnake removals in Payson this week) - we found a great spot nearby to release them.

Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion offers free snake removal throughout Rim Country, in addition to being the Southwest's best Aversion Training.

Proud Payson family business!
