Explore the Children's Trail

Childrens Trail

The Nina Mason Pulliam Children’s Trail lets children get close to many small animals from around the world, including emus, red-necked wallabies, a gaboon viper, siamangs and tamarins.

Continuing on the trail will take you through Harmony Farm, featuring many farm animals, a petting zoo, and demonstrations on farming and agriculture oriented toward children.

Last but certainly not least, guests will find the ever-popular Fernando – a two-toed sloth!
