Get Up Close to Wildlife!
Clarence the Galapagos Tortoise
This is no ghost! Clarence is 102 years old and loves shellebrating Earth Day 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, 600 pound guy before 3pm. He usually tucks himself in bed before it gets too late.
Rajah's Retreat
The Teaching Zoo is excited to celebrate our award-winning, Rajah’s Retreat, our modern and enriching habitat for tigers Neil and Karma. This exhibit has provided a safe, stimulating space for them while giving guests an unforgettable opportunity to learn about and observe these incredible animals. If you haven’t visited yet—or want to see how the space has grown—we can’t wait to welcome you!
Wild Encounters
You are walking into the most unique classroom of all time. The creatures are the teachers and you never know what you may see walking throughout the Zoo. Our students and Animal Ambassadors may be just around the corner!
