Kids, a “wildly different experience” is in store for you at Tanganyika Wildlife Park! More than just a zoo, it offers more hands-on opportunities than most animal experiences. Their experiences allow unique and breath-taking engagements with some of the scarcest animals on the planet. They are constantly looking for new and exciting ways to connect people to the natural world. We’ll also experience Tanganyika Falls, a new state-of-the-art 5,000 fully-customized animal-themed paradise filled with awesome aquatic features such as slides, water-tipping buckets, climbing structures, waterfalls, and a giant, water-spewing giraffe. Kids also love the enormous playground, with a 30ft mega tower, and 850-degree typhoon slide, multiple climbing structures, and more.  

*Fee includes transportation, staffing, and admission to both parks.
