❄️ Brrr-eaking News! ❄️

Due to the winter weather, the Zoo will be closed today, February 12.

Our top priority is keeping our animals safe and warm while giving our guests a chance to do the same! Our dedicated animal care team will be on-site to ensure everyone is cozy and cared for.

Thank you for your understanding—stay warm and stay safe! We look forward to welcoming you back once we dig out. ⛄🐾

Our Malayan tiger cubs, Saba and Ayaz, are now viewable to the public—weather permitting! 🌤️ If temperatures are above 40°F, you might catch a glimpse of these playful cubs in action.

🔎 Want to boost your chances of spotting them? Follow these three simple steps!
1. Stay Quiet – Our cubs are easily spooked by loud noises and may retreat inside. Please keep voices low to help them feel safe!
2. Be Patient – If you don’t spot them right away, come back a bit later! They have access to their indoor habitat, so timing is key.
3. Ask Questions – Sunset Zoo staff are always happy to talk about our newest additions! If you have questions after hours or can't make it in, feel free to email us at [email protected].

🐯 Tiger Cub Viewing Tips & Tricks! 🐯

After practicing in the snow, under the careful watch of the keeper staff and Indrah, we’re thrilled to share that our tiger cubs will be viewable this weekend, February 1st & 2nd. To help make the most of your visit, here are a few tips for a great tiger cub experience:

1. Stay Quiet – Our cubs are easily spooked by loud noises and may retreat inside. Please keep voices low to help them feel safe!
2. Be Patient – If you don’t spot them right away, come back a bit later! They have access to their indoor habitat, so timing is key.
3. Ask Questions – Zoo staff will be available all weekend, while open, to answer your questions and share fun tiger facts!

We can’t wait to see you here—let’s make it a roaring good weekend! 🐅✨
