Calendar: Special Encounters Schedule
At the Wild Animal Park
May 1 thru 5, 2006
The Wgasa Bush Line Railway is closed this week for construction of our new Africa tour. However, we have scheduled a variety of special activities, including additional animal encounters, keeper talks, and enrichment sessions. We have also provided Discovery Stations, where tour guides will share information about our plant and animal collection.
Please consult your Wild Animal Park guide map when you arrive at the Park to find a complete listing of activities and grid coordinates for each activitie's location. (Please note that the Wgasa Bush Line Railway and Giraffe Feeding are also closed during this time.)
Watch our elephants enjoy special activities.
