We invite you to join us in a celebration of our most towering resident – Lewis the Giraffe! This event includes a grab and go breakfast, a talk with our giraffe keepers, a craft for kids, and a behind-the-scenes wild encounter with Lewis.

Please note: although this event is all about Lewis, his level of participation depends on his mood that day. His attendance is a special guest appearance – sometimes in the spotlight, sometimes quietly joining in the distance. Thank you for respecting the choices of a wild animal – our beloved friend, Lewis! Tickets: https://ow.ly/o58N50WVZYs

Did you know that giant anteaters can eat around 30,000 ants or termites a day? They can even identify the species that they prey on before using their powerful claws and sticky saliva to consume their food. A special thank you to Ehrlich Pest Control for sponsoring the termite mound at their habitat.
