Acacia Station Giraffe Deck

Located in Africa Region

Heads up! On the Giraffe Deck, you'll be able to get eye-to-eye with these long-legged giants, an experience you'll never forget. The deck has a beautiful treetop view looking downward on the habitat, so it's a great place for group photos and for viewing our herd of giraffes. The Acacia Station Giraffe Deck is listed as "View 4" on the Park Map. The giraffes may also be visible from three other free viewing areas labeled as View 1, 2 and 3. Views 1 and 2 provide an upward view of the habitat and are closest to the Africa Entrance.

Please note: When the ground is wet, the giraffes will not be in their habitat for their safety. Giraffes also move about their habitat and may not  be near the Acacia Station Giraffe Deck.  Tickets can be purchased at the Giraffe Deck only.
