Ararat Ridge Zoo

💬 What Visitors Say

• 💡Don't miss the interactive animal encounters - camel feeding and the kangaroo walkabout are consistently highlighted as visitor favorites. Plan to arrive during times these activities are offered, as they're available only during select hours.
• 💬Budget 1-2 hours for your visit as the zoo is small and can be walked through relatively quickly. This makes it ideal for families with young children or those with limited time.
• 🕐Check the daily schedule before visiting to confirm hours and activity times, especially for the 20-minute animal shows and interactive experiences like Junior's Zoo Adventure which demonstrate trained animals and educational demonstrations.
• 💬Take advantage of the combo admission deal - Ararat Ridge Zoo is included with Ark Encounter admission, providing good value. Only the premium experiences like Camel Encounters require additional payment.
• 💡Bring young children to experience the animal shows and Goat Barn activities where trained animals demonstrate skills (like goats knowing colors and math) - this provides both entertainment and educational value for grade school age kids.
