Get up close and personal with the North Carolina Zoo's animal ambassadors!

Animal encounters are interactive educational experiences that explore a variety of animals - what they eat, how they live, and what you can do to help the animals that live in your own backyard! 

Program Times: April - October; times vary depending on weather and staff availability.

Program Location: Animal Encounters are held inside Kidzone at various locations, including the front porch and chalk wall area.
