Meet Ranger Jacque and our animal ambassadors at feeding time!

Join us for an up- close look at some of the desert’s most fascinating creatures! Watch as our animal ambassadors, namely snakes!- devour their juicy meals. This experience will give visitors the chance to pet our friendly gopher snake, learn about the unique characteristics of venomous critters, and explore the important roles these animals play in our ecosystem.
