DUE TO COVID-19 SOME OF OUR WILDLIFE CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY. PLEASE SEE INFO BELOW.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  Join us for one of our up-close and personal Wildlife Connections and 100% of the money raised will go directly to help save wildlife in their native habitats.

Want to have a one-on-one experience with one of the Zoo’s exciting animals and their keeper, and at the same time help save animals in the wild? Our Wildlife Connections program is the answer. One of our expert Utah’s Hogle Zoo keepers will be your personal guide as they give you an insider’s look at the Zoo and share their passion for the animals in their care. Listen to stories of the animals’ antics and personality quirks that will open your eyes to what it takes to care for this wild menagerie. Please see Rules and Limitations below.

Cost DOES NOT include Zoo admission!

Space is limited so make your reservation today online or by visiting our Member and Guest Services office.

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.

If you need to cancel due to COVID-related illness, we will provide a partial or prorated credit or work with you to reschedule your tour.
