Tours

On a visit to the Conservators' Center, you will meet our animals up close. An experienced tour guide will tell you their individual stories and describe each species and explain its role in its ecosystem. Most of our friendly and curious lions, tigers, and wolves enjoy greeting and observing their visitors. You will be equally enchanted by our smaller species, including binturongs, New Guinea singing dogs, ringtailed lemurs, servals, caracals, bobcats, lynx, and jungle cats. Please note that tour participants are not permitted to touch any of the animals.

Because we have such a small staff, we strongly encourage you to use our registration system available from each of our tour pages below. We greatly appreciate your understanding in this matter. See Our Scheduled Tour Calendar.
