Make a deeper connection with the giraffes who call the Zoo home with a Giraffe Encounter! At each Encounter session, you’ll have the chance to feed a giraffe leaves — one of their favorite foods! — from atop a platform that overlooks the giraffe habitat. This is the perfect experience to take your Zoo visit to new heights.

The sessions are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day. Each session has 50 tickets available. Tickets must be purchased onsite and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Feeding opportunities are subject to the giraffes’ appetites, weather and special events.

If you are interested in a private experience, please email info@dzs.org or call us at (248) 541-5717.
