Veterinary Clinic & Crocodile House

$45.00

45 minutes, $45 (all ages)

Tour offered 1pm, Saturday, July 30

Learn all about the highly specialized care of the many different species of Zoo animals when you visit the Veterinary Clinic. See the exam/surgery rooms, pharmacy area, quarantine area, and learn about emergency planning in the event of an escaped animal. Visitors may also have the opportunity to see animals currently housed in this area, as well as a collection of “odds and ends” of strange things that have been removed from animals’ digestive systems (those “don’t feed the animals” signs aren’t just for show!). Then journey on to the behind-the-scenes floor of the Crocodile House where you will have the chance to walk out on a gangway to see the huge crocodiles up close (but not too close!), along with American Alligators housed backstage. Learn about the diets and care of these large reptiles, and how operant conditioning is used to facilitate their eventual movement to a new facility.

General Discovery Tours information:

Journey into the heart of the Zoo, behind-the-scenes where the keepers care for the animals. Learn how the animals’ needs are cared for, including diets, enrichment, healthcare, and more. Tours also include front-of-the exhibit viewing of Animals where keepers’ insights and stories will be shared. (Animals remain in the front of the exhibit while participants are behind-the-scenes. No meet and greet is included.) No age requirement.

Tours are limited to 4 to 12 guests to provide an ideal learning environment. Should a tour not reach the minimum number, you will be contacted 24 hours in advance for rescheduling.
Strollers are generally discouraged. Should handicap accessibility be needed, please inform when booking the tour; some variations may need to be made to the promoted tour.
Bring your camera, and sturdy shoes (no sandals).
