Visitor tip
Book animal encounters in advance, especially for weekends. Call ahead to reserve your one-on-one time with specific animals rather than arriving without a reservation, as demand can be high with visitors from multiple states.
Best time
Visit during weekdays or off-season (December-April) for a more relaxed experience and potentially shorter wait times. Note that the petting zoo is seasonal (May-November), but animal encounters are available year-round by appointment outside summer.
Visitor tip
Bring a camera or phone for photos—the venue actively encourages photo opportunities with animals, which is a highlight visitors cherish from their visits.
