Parents CANNOT pay at the gate the morning of the field trip.

At first, we were disappointed that we could no longer take guided tram rides throughout the ranch (due to COVID), but we soon realized the upgrades to the park still made our visit engaging and interactive. We experienced the camels, lemurs, macaws, and other wildlife and took plenty of pictures. What a great adventure!
We are excited to see what happens when the sun disappears! Come find out how the animals will behave with us! Gates open at 12pm, the estimated time of total darkness is around 1:45pm, the park will close at 3pm. During peak eclipse hour we will be feeding our Lions Tigers Bears (oh my) and our Hyena! Predator feedings are at 1:30pm (lion tiger), 1:45pm (bear), and 2:00pm (hyena)
