Animal Discovery Zone

Friday–Sunday, 12:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m.

All Ages

C-level, Learning Lab “L”

Accessible

With our international colony of teaching animals—from chinchillas to box turtles—you can learn about animal behavior and habitats. Our knowledgeable staff will introduce you to our wonderful creatures and share fun stories and interesting facts about them.

The Animal Discovery Zone has limited hours while we revitalize this beloved space. Our transformation will provide updated habitats for our animals, an expanded animal care facility, new activities, and more opportunities to connect. Learn more about our renovation.

If the room isn’t open on the day you visit, you can still meet one of our Animal Ambassadors (check the daily schedule when you arrive for the time of this experience).
