​Hours and Admission

We Love Our Community!

Kachina, our resident puma cub, is now in "Kachina's Playhouse" located in the Gift Shop Nursery.
If you need a little happiness and giggles, be sure and come see her while she is still little -- she's growing up fast!
  • ​Spring is here. Yippee! You will see a change in the animal's activity level. As the weather gets warmer many of the big cats like to nap mid-day. The best time to visit on sunny days is around feeding time. Feeding is at ~3:00 and the cats are alert from ~2:00 in anticipation of the feeding cart. If you would like to do a Big Cat Adventure it must be done before 2:30. The big cats are not interested in public hand feeding once they receive their dinners.
  • The bears are still waking up from their long winter's nap. Each day we get to see more of them, but being bears they do have their own schedule. Will update this information when they are more active.
  • Our canines (coyotes, fox and wolf) are active most of the day, as are our younger cats. So regardless of when you visit there will be animals to see. Often times we have high activity when we open at 10:00 and Big Cat Adventure can be done at any time up until ~2:30. (We go to longer and later hours in May.)
  • Our animal care staff will be more than happy to give you information and answer your questions.
  • Please Note - we allow the animals to have a choice in their own personal schedule. At no time do we make the animals conform to the wishes of our guests. Thank you for your understanding.
