There are a number of reasons why some animals may not be viewable – some of them temporary and some permanent. Click here to see our current list of animals off exhibit.
Remember, if you do not see an animal in their habitat, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are “off exhibit.” For animal wellbeing, our animals are provided with covered areas or indoor access so they have the freedom to choose if they are visible or not. Don’t be afraid to ask a staff member or volunteer if you are unsure – we are always happy to help!
