On this adventure ride you’re going to feel the gait of an elephant’s walk while appreciating a lofty perspective.

Let our African Elephant take you for a memorable stroll. Only $5 per rider of ALL ages. No single person riders. Minimum of 2 persons per ride required. Digital photograph print of your journey for only $10 extra, proceeds applied toward elephant enrichment

PLEASE READ THIS AREA
Elephant Rides are held weather permitting (this includes rain and heat). Many days rides are held longer than the times above and directly relates to the number of visitors on that given day. Some days rides are held for shorter periods than the above times (or are held at alternate times), due to things such as heat, and sometimes by our request may require at least 2 persons riding at the same time on such days. There are other times and reasons that we may request at least 2 persons ride at the same time.
While you are here, please browse through the Natural Bridge Zoo Gift Shop for the perfect souvenir and enjoy our picnic grounds.
