About this activity

Have you ever seen an African Lion up close, or tried to reach the heights of a giraffe?

At Blank Park Zoo you can do just that and so much more in this WILD family day out in Iowa!

Blank Park Zoo features a host of amazing animals for the kids to learn about, explore, and enjoy! They can learn all about the life expectancy of the Aldabra Tortoise, or see the adorable Golden-headed Tamarin up close.

Kids can watch the suited penguins play, or hear those playful Sea Lions cheer!

Blank Park Zoo is also a great way for kids to learn all about conservation, especially with species such as the Eastern Black Rhino. It's family fun and learning all in one!

It's not just animals at this adorable zoo that kids can experience. In season, they can take to the tracks on the train, or watch the world go by from the carousel!

Have you ever enjoyed a camel ride? Well, you don't have to go to the desert to do that anymore - not at Blank Park Zoo!

Families can really enjoy that animal experience with the animal feeding sessions, where you can hand feed giraffes, fish, and even ostrich by hand! How fun is that!

Don't miss those fun events held at the zoo across the year either, including Halloween and Easter events that will entertain all, animal days, and more!
