Private Animal Experiences

Start your experience with a tour of the main exhibit hall as you walk to the behind the scenes area. Learn what it means to be an animal ambassador at Lindsay and what it takes to ensure the ambassadors live a happy and healthy life. Assist an Animal Keeper by preparing animal diets for the day and learn how we encourage natural behaviors and stimulate their minds and bodies by helping make enrichment for the animals. Your experience will conclude by watching a training session and having an ambassador interact with your enrichment.
