Animal Encounters at Mote are fun adventures for up to 6 participants. During this experience, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes peek at what goes on before we open to the public, learn about animal care and ask Mote educators any questions you may have during your exclusive tour, then conclude your program with an animal feeding or enrichment activity. Animal Encounters are available Thursdays through Sundays and we have two different program themes for you to choose from! Don’t miss your chance to #MakeMoteMemories, register today!
