Get closer! Modeled after an authentic Malayan field conservation reserve, the tiger exhibit will make predator care an intimate experience. Catch tigers hunting for live fish in a shallow pool or cat-napping in a Banyan tree hollow. Listen to them rumble and purr with innovative acoustical immersion. At the training wall, marvel as zookeepers work one-on-one with tigers and learn how the zoo safely cares for these large, fascinating cats.
