Activities:

Behind the Scenes Tour

How do you train a komodo dragon? What do we think about when we decide to combine species in an exhibit? These 20-minute walking tours are chock-full of fun facts, animal anecdotes, and insider information. You’ll learn the answers to the questions you always wondered about. Your tour will also include a peek behind-the-scenes, where you’ll travel with your naturalist to a non-public area of the Zoo to learn more about how the Zoo works.
