💬 What Visitors Say
- 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.
- Wear fitted clothing and secure loose items. Deer are playful and may tug on loose shirts, jackets, or belongings as they interact with visitors.
- Plan for 1.5-2 hours maximum. This allows adequate time to see all animals and interact with deer without over-scheduling, and aligns with the active period when most animals are out.
- 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.
- 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.
