Carnivore Enrichment Days

Franklin Park Zoo Stone Zoo

October 21 & 22

Watch our incredible carnivores put their natural instincts to work during these special feedings.

Included with general Zoo admission. No additional purchase or reservation is required for Zoo members.

Watch our care team provide enrichment for our carnivores during special feeding sessions, where animals will receive a large cut of meat as a special addition to their diets. Because the meat still includes bone and connective tissues, these feeds encourage natural behaviors, like ripping and shredding, and supports the well-being of these impressive carnivores. Our team will be on hand at the start of each feeding to answer your questions and share more about this special enrichment.

Please note: It’s always up to our animals when and how they engage with enrichment. While feeding sessions begin at scheduled times, animals may choose to eat at any point throughout the day, so viewing is not guaranteed.
