Get Close –Programs and Encounter Schedule
The best learning and the strongest memories are achieved through doing, not just looking. With that in mind, Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo has developed interactive animal presentations.
Some of our most popular features are our Animal Programs and Encounters; times when you might get to touch an exotic animal or learn more about it from the staff members who care for it.
Please make time during your visit to catch these unique opportunities to get close.
We also offer photo opportunities with some of our Animal Ambass-zoo-dors after each stage presentation!
