Visitor tip
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.
Visitor tip
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.
Visitor tip
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.
