Have you ever wondered how our 5,000 lbs. rhinos stay warm in the winter? Or just how much food we go through to feed our two African elephants? Join us on our behind-the-scenes Elephant Barn Tour to learn about everything that goes into caring for the largest animals at Hogle Zoo.

CANCELLATION POLICY
We believe in giving our animals choices and cannot guarantee animals will present themselves to be fed. If an animal chooses not to participate or does not present itself to be fed, you will not receive a refund.

If a tour needs to be canceled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, you will be credited the amount paid.

If, on the other hand, you choose to cancel, you may receive a credit; however, the amount of the credit will depend on when a cancellation is made:

Cancellations up to 72 hours before the tour will be credited the full amount paid.
Cancellations up to 48 hours before the tour will be credited half of the amount paid.
Cancellations less than 24 hours prior to the tour, or if participants do not show up for the tour, will not receive a refund or credit.
