Memorial Day thru Labor Day
Free with Paid Admission
Sundays at 1:00pm
Training Demonstrations
By getting the animal to participate in its own health care, we can drastically reduce stress when performing routine health care, as well as stimulate them mentally. Zookeepers can also use training to encourage normal behavior such as pouncing and leaping while eliminating stereotypical behaviors. With the use of operant conditioning, our Zookeepers can help our animal family stay in shape by getting them up and moving. Free with paid admission.
Mondays at 1:00pm
Enrichment Demonstration
Did you ever notice when you visit there may be random objects in our exhibits for our animal family to interact with? These include huge plastic balls, mirrors, coffee cans or buckets; other times, you may see cardboard boxes. These “toys” given to our animal family aren’t random–they’re part of a carefully structured enrichment program that is geared toward keeping animals active and engaged with their surroundings. Learn about the importance of enrichment to our Zoo Family! Free with paid admission.
