Award-winning Safari North Wildlife Park, which features more than 120 species from six continents is proud to announce Baby Animal Weekend is back this June 14 and 15. This is a unique opportunity to get face-to-face with some of the most cuddly and adorable baby animals the zoo has to offer. For example, only at this event, get up close with a variety of exotic animals like baby water buffalo, baby bison, baby zebras, baby camels, baby kangaroos, baby ostrich and emu, baby yack and so many more.
Guests will watch as these cuddly creatures get bottle-fed and participate in a highly interactive, hands-on, petting zoo-type atmosphere where you can touch, ask questions and learn about each species from our educational experts.
Founded in 2014, Safari North Wildlife Park is the creation of Kevin Vogel and his wife Kelly. Together the two have more than 50 years of combined experience in the field of exotic animals.
