This year, we are also offering several VIP ticket options. All VIP tickets include a special animal encounter and early entrance in to the Zoo. VIP Animal encounters begin at 4:30 pm. Please note that alcohol will not be served until after your animal experience. Some experiences include early access to vendor tents as time allows. Guests who arrive 15 minutes late or later may not be able to rejoin their VIP tour.

VIP EARLY ACCESS TOUR OPTIONS:

• VIP Polar Bear Training Session ($100)  – join our keepers for a chance to see how we train our largest bears and learn about why that training helps them participate in their own healthcare. This demonstration takes place outdoors.
• VIP Aardvark Encounter ($125)  – our nocturnal animals can be some of the hardest to get to know, but this night event is the perfect opportunity for a lucky few to meet one of our favorite residents! Go behind the scenes at our Green Barn where you will get an up close encounter with Ayla, our aardvark, and learn all about her unique adaptations with one of our fantastic zookeepers!
• VIP Wreath Making & Animal Enrichment Experience ($100)  – Start this experience by giving one or more of our animals a pre-made browse wreath where you will get to see how much our animals love browse! Then join our horticulturalist and make your very own animal enrichment wreaths. Your wreaths will be frozen so we can give them out to our animals throughout the winter.
