Zootastic Park Animal Encounter

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to share this AMAZING experience with you because most zoos don't offer it! Zootastic Park seems like a quaint NC zoo at first glance, but wait until you get inside. Now, the zoo itself is awesome because you can walk right up to the enclosures of most of the animals(and pet them), which is hard to find at some zoos, however the real draw to this little park is the Animal Encounter!

The zoo's unique Animal Encounter program allows you and up to 9 other people in your group to have an up close and personal relationship with some of the zoo's baby animals!

While I was there I got to hold a baby spider monkey, a baby kangaroo, and a kinkajou(I didn't know what this was before, but they are so cool).



Yes, that sweet baby kangaroo IS wearing a diaper;)

This is a kinkajou - never seen one before, but SO friendly!



We also had multiple ring tail and black and white ruffed lemurs jumping all over us - This was my favorite part. The lemurs would leap back and forth between the people in the room, and for some reason they loved the smell of my shampoo, so they were all over me!



Lastly, we got to pet a two-toed sloth, and watch it eat. I wouldn't recommend requesting the sloth, as it was cool but not very exciting;)



Now, I will say that the Animal Encounter comes with a steep cost, but it is a once and a lifetime experience! Depending upon the encounter you choose, how long you want with the animals(we spent an hour), and how many people are in your group, the price ranges from $50-$500. Customize the experience that best suits you and your family! - The purchase of the animal counter includes tickets to the rest of the zoo for your family.

I absolutely loved this experience! I don't know about you, but whenever I'm at the zoo I always want to TOUCH the animals. Well here's your chance people, take it!

p.s. You also have the option of hiring a photographer.
