Education staff invite you on this special behind the scenes tour to learn about the unique adaptations of some of the largest types of tortoises.

Learn about how we care for our largest tortoises at the Zoo and how our everyday actions can help protect tortoises in the wild. This experience provides an opportunity to see the tortoises closer than during a regular visit, and may even allow the chance to watch a feeding or help with training.

Age: All participants must be 5 or older and at least one adult must attend.

Time: Start times vary by date, check the start time for the date you are interested in on the registration link above.

This is a 30 minute experience. Latecomers are unable to join a program already in session.

Please note – Due to animal health protocols, if temperatures are under 50 degrees, the tortoises will be inside and not available. Another animal experience will be substituted as needed.

Price: $35 per person
