Kids can also stop by a special station where they can use non-toxic markers and crayons to decorate paper bags to be used as enrichment for the animals. Keepers will then fill those bags with items such as food, straw, or toys, and give them to the animals at a later date. Guests can also visit a station where several enrichment items, including boomer balls and puzzle feeders, will be on display.
