The best purchase and most precious experience I’ve had to date was booking the Chinchilla Treatment experience at Elmwood Park Zoo !
Here are some quick facts about all the experiences
Comment this post if you’d like the link for the encounters page and let me know if you’d have any questions
• Encounters can be purchased by members and non-members. Members receive discounted rate
• Encounters have individual age requirements so make sure to read the details before you book. This experience is for ages 5 + however no one under 3 is permitted for any of the experiences.
• These are exclusive interactions, this experience included 4 people so we brought 2 friends with us
• The zoo cannot guarantee that you can touch or specific activities due to the needs of the animals and variability in behavior. However our experience allowed us to pet and touch the chinchillas which was so precious!
