Daily Programs

These bullet points are largely guidelines for the daily programs each day. Some days may vary depending on animal temperament.

Winter Photo opportunities:

Main bricks
Eagle nest in the visitor center
Elk statue by turtle lake
Merrill woods entrance

Animal Feeding Times:

10am Winnie and Oakley River Otters – Behind the Visitor Center
2pm White Bison – Main Bricks In Front of Enclosure
4pm Chester The Mink – Otter Yard

Please keep in mind these are feeding times only. The animal keepers are happy to answer questions our guests may have, but this is not a scheduled program like a keeper chat. If the animals decide not to come out for their food due to the cooler weather, the animal keepers can not force them out of dens.
