Roar & Explore

From the king of the jungle to those waddling tuxedoed entertainers, this prowl through paradise is going to be a roaring good time with these additional ideas. Who knows, you might even spot a few lovable characters reminiscent of yourselves!

Zoo-riffic Interaction

  • Keeper Talks: Check the zoo schedule for informative keeper talks. These sessions provide insights into animal behavior, care, and conservation efforts.
  • Animal Feedings: See if your zoo offers paid experiences where you can participate in feeding the animals. This can be a unique and incredibly fun way to get up close!
  • Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Some zoos offer special tours that take you backstage for a closer look at how they care for the animals.

Monkeying Around

  • Zoo Scavenger Hunt: Create a playful scavenger hunt with clues leading to different animal exhibits (“Find a creature with stripes”, “Locate a bird that can’t fly”, etc.).
  • Animal Impressions Challenge: Take turns doing your best impersonations of different animals you see. Get creative and have fun laughing together!
  • Adopt an Animal: If you have a favorite animal you discovered, consider symbolically adopting it to support the zoo’s conservation efforts.

Wild Romance

  • Tropical Oasis: Seek out a warm, humid greenhouse or butterfly garden for a romantic change of scenery.
  • Sunset Stroll: Time your visit to include a beautiful golden hour walk as the zoo begins to close down.
  • Post-Zoo Sundae: Treat yourselves to a sweet ice cream date after to continue the good vibes.
