Best time
Visit on weekdays (especially Thursday-Friday afternoons or early summer Thursday hours) to experience smaller crowds and get personalized attention from staff, who may even bring out special animals like Franklin the tortoise for one-on-one interactions.
Visitor tip
Book a private tour ($150+) for a more in-depth, personalized experience where you can hold multiple animals and ask detailed questions from enthusiastic staff and owners—reviews highlight this as worth the investment and even worth traveling 1+ hours for.
Visitor tip
Consider booking a birthday party package ($350+) or homeschool enrichment program ($15+) for groups; reviews emphasize the staff's professionalism and the hands-on animal handling experience creates memorable, educational moments that kids will remember for years.
