Sloth Encounter
Slow down with Grover and Ivy in our sloth rainforest habitat
Private Encounter Only
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 15 minutes early. Sessions start promptly and cannot be extended for late arrivals — our sloths' schedules are built around their comfort and care.
A fully animal-led experience: Grover and Ivy always choose how they participate. Some visits include feeding or gentle interaction when Grover or Ivy chooses to participate. Other visits are quiet observation while they climb, rest, eat, or move at their own pace. Their comfort comes first, every time.
Step Into Our Sloth Rainforest
Step into a calm, immersive rainforest experience designed to slow the world down. During this private session, your group enters our sloth rainforest habitat for a peaceful, guided encounter with Grover and Ivy, our two-toed sloths.
You'll spend time observing Grover and Ivy up close while learning about their behavior, personalities, adaptations, and care — in a setting designed around comfort, quiet, and connection.
Sloths are incredibly unique animals known for their slow, intentional movements, strong grip, low-energy lifestyle, and calm presence. This is your chance to experience that up close, in our peaceful sloth rainforest habitat.
