An African Wildlife Adventure

April - October

Get aboard a specially outfitted, open-air vehicle for an exclusive tour of the 40-acre Watani Grassland exhibit!  An experienced zoo educator will introduce you to the nine exhibited species—nearly 100 animals! Discover rhinoceroses, gazelles, greater kudus, ostriches and many exotic antelope. Guests may even get a special view of the elephants!
