All guests, including members, will need to either reserve a time or purchase a timed entry ticket prior to visiting the North Carolina Zoo. Please take the time to review our reimagined guest experience and protocols before buying tickets to the North Carolina Zoo.
The grizzly habitat will be closed for renovations through June.
The North Carolina Zoo’s behavioral management program includes training and enrichment for all animals. Much training lets the animals participate in their own preventative health care. The grizzly bears voluntarily receive vaccinations, nail trims, and allow keepers to brush their teeth.
