Please note that all tours are by appointment only, and that you must have tour reservations to see the animals. You can explore general + premium tour options via our tours homepage – we offer tours for all ages, budgets, and backgrounds!
Tours often book weeks in advance, and generally we cannot accommodate walk-in visitors. You are, however, always welcome to call us just in case we have tour openings remaining on a particular day: (919) 401-7240. It never hurts to check, especially if you’re open to multiple types of tours!
The gift shop is open to the public without appointment from 9:00 a.m. ’til 4:00 p.m. seven days a week. Parking is simple and free.

1. Continue straight on Cornwallis.
2. At the light, turn right onto Erwin.
