Samburu Giraffe Feeding Station


The Samburu Giraffe Feeding Station, open everyday from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, gives visitors the opportunity to walk up a custom built ramp that leads to an elevated platform overlooking the African Plains exhibit. For the first time at the Zoo, visitors can view a giraffe's 14-inch long tongue as it extends out to gently take food out of their hands while getting a close look at what many consider the most beautiful eyelashes in nature. For $2.00, guests can feed our giraffes delicious veggie treats like romaine or iceberg lettuce, kale or collard greens.
