VIAP Tours
One of Our Most Popular Adventures!
Guests on our “Very Important Animal Person” Tour enjoy an adventure, approx. 3 hrs. long, while getting to know our animals in a personal and hands-on environment. The VIAP includes a close and full contact encounter with FOUR of our “Wild Things.” A catered deli style lunch with the keepers is also provided.
VIAP guests take a look behind the scenes as a private group, not with the general public. These tours are on a first come, first serve basis and made by reservation only. Animals showcased on this tour vary depending on season, weather, trainers, and guests. A fun, safe, educational experience and photo/video opportunity of a lifetime. Allow the animals to explain how deserving they and their wild counter parts are of your care and support. Few present our conservation message better.
We are open 7 days a week – including most holidays except: We are closed on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. (Reservation cancelations for this tour must happen 7-days prior to booking date – no exceptions for any reasons as we incur expenses at this time. Donation letters are available to those unable to utilize their booking.)
