Best time
Visit in early afternoon (noon-1pm or later) when animals are most active and visible. Morning visits may find some animals inactive, especially porcupines and other animals that are temperature-sensitive.
Visitor tip
Bring feed and be prepared for the deer's playful personality. They may give gentle nibbles or nudges if you're not distributing feed quickly enough—this is a memorable, safe interaction since deer cannot bite.
Visitor tip
Talk with staff members like Ms. Gail who are passionate and knowledgeable about animal care. They provide excellent insights into the animals' personalities and care needs, enhancing your educational experience.
