Animal Talks
with Our Care Team
Get to Know Our Animal Friends
Our new animal talks give you and your little ones a chance to learn more about Fairyland’s furry, feathery, and scaly animal residents. Join our skilled Animal Care Team for informal, educational conversations where curiosity is encouraged and questions are always welcome.
As an added bonus, pick up a stamp card at your first Animal Talk. Collect a stamp for each session you attend and earn a prize when you’ve learned about all of Fairyland’s animal friends.
Animal Talks take place every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
