World Giraffe Day is a global celebration of these amazing and much-loved animals while raising support and creating awareness of the challenges giraffe face in their natural habitat.
Giraffe are part of what’s called a “silent extinction,” meaning many people don’t realize populations across Africa have declined a staggering 30% in just the past thirty years.
Come meet our resident giraffes, Gage and Rafiki, whose gentle demeanor and popularity among guests make them great ambassadors for their counterparts across the world! You’ll learn about how you can take a stand to help conservation efforts for this threatened species.
In addition, we’ll have an information station set up where we’ll be taking donations to directly benefit the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
Upon donation, your info will be entered into a drawing. The winner will receive a VIP meeting with the giraffes, where together, they’ll paint a custom, one-of-a-kind piece of art! The winner will also get a private Keeper Chat, and finish up the session with a feeding.
Giraffe feedings will run as scheduled. Giraffe feedings are an additional $6.
