💬 What Visitors Say

💡Book the Fennec Fox tour for interactive animal feeding experiences - visitors can hand-feed fennec foxes with tongs and get close encounters with these popular animals that consistently receive praise for being 'hysterical' during mealtime.
💡Request a specific keeper-educator guide by name (like Amanda or Kaiya based on reviews) when booking your private tour - the quality of your experience heavily depends on the guide's knowledge and personality, so asking for highly-rated staff can enhance your visit.
💬Set expectations appropriately: while advertised as 'playing with' animals, interaction typically involves petting animals while held by staff or hand-feeding through tongs rather than free handling - this prevents disappointment for those expecting unrestricted animal contact.
💡Book private birthday parties or off-site animal ambassador programs for schools and events throughout California - this unique educational offering allows customized experiences beyond the facility visit and reaches audiences across the country.
💬Plan to spend 1-2 hours for your private tour to see most animals and have meaningful interactions - reviews indicate visitors tour through multiple animal exhibits (fennec foxes, porcupines, armadillos, kinkajous, hedgehogs, and more) during their appointments.
