Outing Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Ten species, face to face

Over the course of the tour you’ll be introduced to ten different feline species, with guides explaining each animal’s background and conservation story.

THE SETTING

Landscaped outdoor enclosures

The walk takes place amid carefully tended outdoor exhibits; guests move from one landscaped enclosure to the next while staff provide interpretation.

THE FORMAT

Personal, guided storytelling

Rather than a passive viewing, the tour is a guided progression with interns and staff narrating individual animals’ histories and the center’s conservation efforts.

What the day feels like

How the tour unfolds

For one hour a guide leads a small group along outdoor walking paths from exhibit to exhibit; along the way you stop at each enclosure to learn about the resident cats and the conservation work supporting them.
