Up-Close Looks

We're excited to bring back Animal Encounters in a fun, safe and ultra-exclusive way. Our new “Up-Close Look” experiences allow you to "buy out” a session for up to six people from your social distancing bubble to enjoy an exciting and intimate experience that keeps everyone, including our animals, safe! PLEASE NOTE: masks will be required for all Up-Close Looks participants.
