October 21st & 22nd October 28th & 29th
2 Weekends of Family Fun!
Get Up Close to Wildlife!
Clarence the Galapagos Tortoise
This is no ghost! Clarence is 100 years old and loves shellebrating Halloween with Friends young & old! See Clarence walk about or maybe catch him snoozing in the sun (one of his favorite activities). Best to see this big, 550 pound guy before 3pm. He usually tucks himself in bed before it gets too late.
Ira's Kingdom
King of the Jungle, more like King of the Campus! Ira is our male, 8 year old African Lion. His roar can be heard around the campus and surrounding neighborhoods. Ira loves his treats so come see Ira in action at the Carnivore Feeding demonstration at 3:30pm.
Wild Encounters
