Spend the day with our wildlife experts and experience what it’s like to care for the amazing creatures in our Wild Wonders Wildlife Park. Start your day with a Behind the Scenes tour of Wild Wonders, work up an appetite learning about “ZOOtrition” and prepare a wild diet, then try your hand at training alpacas using positive rewards. Explore the importance of Behavioral Enrichment through “Keeper Talks,” create a “toy” that fits the animals’ needs, then watch and see what the animals do! We’ll end the day with an up-close look at Wildlife Rehabilitation.
