Tours are available Thursday through Monday (closed Tuesday & Wednesday) from 11-4, and are $10/adult and $6/child.
Birthday Parties
Whether you prefer to party at home or at their facility, a creature filled celebration will be memorable for years to come. An hour long presentation by a trained animal educator, including hands on touching will delight the birthday boy or girl. Guests will be introduced to exotic insects, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.
Camps
Kids can learn at spring and summer break day camps. With a focus on conservation and animal care, these camps offer plenty of hands on opportunities. For young teens, there are more in-depth programs like the Junior Zoo Keeping Course, offered a few times per year.
School Programs
Teachers and program directors can invite Urban Safari Rescue Society to present in a classroom setting with some of their unique animals. Appropriate for all age levels, an hour long presentation is a great way to learn about exotic creatures. Students get to meet and greet Urban Safari Rescue residents like turtles, snacks, bug, sugar gliders and more!
