Open Daily 9 am to 4 pm
Did you know the word “twiga” means giraffe in Swahili? At the Twiga Station, you can meet our giraffes, learn about them, and have a chance to feed one of them! These gentle giants eat as much as 70 pounds of leaves a day. Help the keepers by feeding the giraffes various types of browse. Be sure to check out their amazingly long tongues!
Appropriate for all ages, each encounter ticket is $5 per person, plus a regular paid zoo admission. Tickets can be purchased in the park during feeding times. Parents may go into the feeding station with children to assist and take pictures for free. A ticket must be purchased to participate in the feeding, regardless of age. No reservations are made.
This is a keeper-supervised feeding to ensure that it’s a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests, our keepers, and most especially, our giraffes. Groups of up to 8 people are taken to the station at one time. We reserve the right to make last-minute decisions regarding the group size of the visit. The feeding area is handicap accessible. No service animals are allowed in the station.
The station is in a shaded outdoor enclosure; however, if the weather conditions are questionable, please call ahead to check if we are still selling tickets. Feedings are not available if there is lightning, heavy rain, or freezing temperatures.
