This private experience for 2–5 guests begins with an up‑close introduction to our animal ambassadors. You’ll meet several of our birds of prey, with opportunities for photos and the option for participants aged 16 and older to hold one of our raptors for an additional fee. This portion of the visit offers a rare chance to appreciate these remarkable birds and learn about their unique adaptations.

Your visit continues with hands‑on reptile and mammal encounters. Guests of all ages can gently pet our friendly snakes, learn about their behaviors, and—if feeling adventurous—hold one under staff guidance. You’ll also meet our charming small mammals, including our opossums and, when she’s not hibernating, our delightful ground squirrel.

To complete your experience, your group will enjoy a private guided tour of our facility. This behind‑the‑scenes walk‑through provides additional insight into our animals, their care, and our mission, creating a memorable and personalized visit from start to finish.
