We are so excited to offer animal encounters at Action Wildlife Foundation!

In order to allow everyone the chance to book an encounter upon release, we currently only allow for one encounter to be booked per transaction. If you are receiving an error message, please ensure that you only have ONE encounter in your cart.

PLEASE READ OUR ENCOUNTERS FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING:

Why does it say "not available" when I try to book an encounter?

If it says there is nothing available, then it is already booked. We release calf and goat encounters 60 days in advance for booking, so your date may not be ready to book yet! 

I'm obsessed with Capybaras. Any chance I can squeeze an encounter in?

Don't worry - we're obsessed too! The comfort and safety of our animals comes first, so we are only able to host a limited number of Capybara encounters. We are fully booked for 2025 and have closed the waitlist at this time.

Any encounters we are able to add due to cancellations will be listed as available. There is no guarantee we can add any slots, but check back intermittently!

When will you start booking Capybara encounters for next year?

We will start booking 2026 encounters when we open for the 2026 season!

Can I see the Capybaras during a regular visit to the park?
YES! You are able to see Doug and Millie in their enclosure during park hours - and they would love to see you!

 

Is admission included in my encounter pricing?

No - you must also purchase general admission tickets to enter the park in addition to your encounter.

 

Where do I go for my encounter?
Calf and goat encounters take place in the Petting Zoo area. Capybara encounters take place at the Capybara enclosure. If you're having trouble locating the encounter, our staff are happy to help!

 

My child is X years old. Can they experience the animal encounters?
Of course! Children are welcome at encounters but must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Do I need to book a separate encounter for everyone in my party?

The cost for calf and goat encounters as listed is PER GROUP, not per person! The maximum number of people per group is 4.

Can I reschedule my encounter?

Due to the popularity of the encounters, we are often sold out or short on availability and unable to reschedule.

All encounters are rain or shine. In the case that severe weather closes the park, we will contact you and help you reschedule. They are non-transferable. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your encounter, Action Wildlife reserves the right to cancel. Any no-shows will be considered a tax deductible donation to Action Wildlife.
