Does your child love animals and want to be a zookeeper? Need a day to yourself?

We have the perfect solution!

Register your child for Summer Safari, our day camp for children.

Each camper gets an exciting behind-the-scenes look at many animals such as the penguins and tortoises and a unique experience with the pygmy hippos. The camp includes an in-depth guided tour of the park led by a zoo educator. Campers get to meet animal ambassadors and take their photo with one of them.
