Frequent Flyers Bird Show:
An East African crowned crane in flight is a stunning sight viewed by only a privileged few, until now! The crane is one of the stars of the Wild Animal Park's all-new bird show, Frequent Flyers. Frequent Flyers offers spectacular flights and focuses on a variety of birds from around the world. You'll find this program engaging as you watch more birds free flying, offering a chance to see the feathered cast's natural talents. With over 40 different species and growing, no two shows will be the same. Frequent Flyers is full of great fun, natural history, fantastic stories, and, of course, lots of birds!

Animal Encounters:
Meet a variety of critters and their trainers during these up-close-and personal talks throughout the Park. And always keep your eyes open, because you never know what wild thing may be making a surprise walk through (or flyby!).
