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.
Look at the World from a different view point. An elephant ride is an outstanding experience for the young and the young at heart. On this adventure ride you’re going to feel the gait of an elephant’s walk while appreciating a lofty perspective. We are one of the few zoos in the United States to offer an African elephant ride with an opportunity for hands-on interaction.
