Behind-the-Scenes Animal Tours
Join our wildlife staff for a look behind the animal exhibits: how food is prepared, how bugs, snakes and tortoises are cared for, where the birds sleep, and more. Staff will share their insights and experience with animals and offer a close look at animals not normally on display.
$25.00 per person regardless of age (plus Museum admission), $20 for members.
- Tours are held the first and third Saturday of each month (see dates below).
- Tours start at 10 am, are approximately 40 minutes long and may include the Desertarium, the bird mews, wildlife kitchen and mammal holding area (based on weather and animal health).
- Payment is due upon reservation.
- Visitors can reserve space by calling the Museum, 541-382-4754, ext. 241 during business hours (9-4) or signing up at Admissions.
- We will take a maximum of 8 people per tour. (These are not private tours.)
- If space is available on the day of the tour, we will announce it through signage at Admissions.
- Tours are partially outside so dress appropriately for the weather.
- Tours may be postponed due to inclement weather, for safety reasons. In that case, we will contact you to reschedule.
