Winter Events at the Animal Park

Celebrate the season with our animal residents

Winter In the Wild

Saturdays in November and December
Evenings

Winter is an amazing time to visit the critters at the the Animal Park. As the weather grows cooler, our lions, tigers, and wolves are energized by the brisk temperatures. They become even more active as the sun sets, and call out to one another as the winter moon rises in the sky.

Join us in celebrating the season with our animal residents on Saturdays in December with a Winter in the Wild tour! Take an evening stroll along our path with an experienced tour guide. You’ll also enjoy the glow of holiday lights and a cup of hot cocoa.

Accessibility, Safety, and Pets

The Animal Park is not wheelchair accessible; however, accessibility accommodations are available for visitors with mobility issues. Please note that we are not able to allow unauthorized vehicles, including scooters or motorized wheelchairs, in the Park. Find more information about disability accommodations and access in the Tour FAQ on our Plan Your Visit page.

If you are planning to visit the Animal Park, please take a moment to review your confirmation email and text to complete our online tour waiver.  Waivers will also be available in the gift shop for visitors to complete during check-in.

For safety reasons, the Animal Park cannot allow visitors to bring pets on site. Any visitor who brings an animal to the Park will be asked to leave immediately. No animals may be left unattended in a vehicle.

Due to the uneven surfaces of our tour path, for children’s safety, we cannot allow them to ride in wagons in the Park, and we encourage child sling carriers over strollers. Strollers are allowed, with children secured inside, but at the parent’s sole discretion.

Family Adventures

Have you ever looked a lion, tiger, leopard, or wolf in the eye? Had a “conversation” with a jungle cat? Witnessed the flickering tufts of a caracal’s ear? What on earth is a binturong—and why is it so important to its natural ecosystem?

Discover all this and much more when you join us for an Adventure tour at the Animal Park!
