Ambassador Animals Experience
A guided journey through our Ambassador Building to meet some of the most unique animals at Majestic Meadows
Semi-Private Encounter
This is a small, guided group experience. Multiple parties may share the same session, with a maximum of 10 total guests.
The Self-Guided Farm Tour is not included in this encounter.
You can add it for $15 per person when you book your encounter, and explore our 20 acres and 20+ animal species before or after your session.
On Mondays and Tuesdays the farm is closed to regular Self-Guided Farm Tour guests. Encounter guests who add the tour may still walk the farm until we close at 5:00 PM.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes early. Sessions begin promptly and cannot be extended for late arrivals. All animals are on schedules that cannot be interfered with for the safety and comfort of our animals.
Hands-On Animal Experience: These animals are naturally curious and may investigate guests up close using noses, paws, quills, shells, or gentle mouthing. Minor scratches or incidental contact can occur as part of normal, non-aggressive behavior. Guests must be comfortable with close animal interaction and follow staff direction at all times.
Closed-toe shoes required. No Crocs or sandals.
About the Experience
Step inside our Ambassador Building for a guided semi-private encounter with some of the most unique animals at Majestic Meadows. As you move through the building with a staff guide, you'll learn about each species, their personalities, and why they are incredible ambassador animals for education and conservation.
You'll meet our African spurred sulcata tortoises of different sizes and ages, our fascinating Prehensile-tailed porcupines (including Pickles), energetic South American coatimundis, curious Striped skunk ambassadors, our fun-loving Southern three-banded armadillos, Artie and Athena, and our screaming hairy armadillos.
Want the encounter to yourselves? Larger groups are welcome to book all available spots in a time slot to enjoy a fully private experience together.
