Most of us have been to the zoo and found ourselves shelling out a few buck to feed an animal. I've feed fish, ducks, domestic livestock in the children's petting area.
This is by far the most unique feeding experience I have ever seen.
Feeding GIRAFFES. Up close and personal.
For only $2.00 you get a hand full of leaves which the giraffes just love. Feeding time starts at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 1:30, or when the giraffes have eaten their allotted amount of leaves.
The observation deck is high enough that the giraffes meet you face to face.
