Live Animal Performances with Fun and Excitement

The roughly 20-minute show features agile Japanese macaques, dexterous tufted capuchins, three colorful parrots, and even a Norwegian Forest Cat. In a playful take on the Bremen Town Musicians, the "Animal Theater" performance troupe takes the stage with lively animal acts.

A Rare Opportunity to Interact with Endangered Elephants

At "Elephant Forest," two Asian elephants from Laos welcome visitors. Experiences include "Elephant Ride," which circles the plaza on an elephant's back, the "Forest Course," which takes a walk through the woods, and elephant feeding. It also offers a rare chance to interact up close with elephants, an endangered species affected by factors such as environmental destruction.

An "Animal Interaction Area" for Memorable Encounters

Close interaction with endearing animals, such as ring-tailed lemurs sunbathing with arms outstretched, creates a strong sense of connection. Friendly squirrel monkeys may even perch lightly on a shoulder and doze off in a visitor's arms. Children of elementary school age should interact with animals under the supervision of a guardian.
