Book a Wild Connection!

Get in touch with your wild side as you join a zookeeper and an animal companion for a one-of-a-kind experience! Learn about our animal friends’ individual personalities, the world-class training and care provided by our dedicated keeper and veterinarian teams as well as what you can do help support animals like them in the wild. All while making a connection that will last a lifetime. All Wild Connection experiences last about 20-30 minutes unless otherwise noted.

This add-on experience does not include admission to the zoo. Wild Connections guests must reserve Zoo admission tickets in advance to ensure entry prior to their scheduled experience. We suggest arriving at least 30 minutes early.

Please note: Smaller groups may be combined with others. Wild Connections have limited availability and are only available on the days and times listed above and require advanced reservations. NO EXCEPTIONS CAN BE MADE TO THE DAYS/TIMES OFFERED, AGE RESTRICTIONS, OR FOR WHAT SPECIES ARE AVAILABLE.

Current Wild Connection Encounters:

Ambassador Animal Adventure Wild Connection

Every encounter is a surprise—you might meet some of our social media stars like Beau the six-banded armadillo, our scruffy-tailed skunks, or another one of our amazing ambassadors! These special animals usually live behind the scenes, but they love stepping out to help share their species’ amazing stories. 

Our keepers will introduce you to the ambassador who’s most excited to meet guests that day. Each encounter is unique, based on the animal’s choice and the keeper’s discretion, so we can’t guarantee who you’ll meet—but we can promise a wild and memorable connection!
