Come walk on the wild side at the Birmingham Zoo with our Behind the Scenes Encounters! On these unique experiences, you’ll get an insider’s look at how the Zoo cares for our animals. Encounters are led by a Zoo educator and include a tour of behind-the-scenes animal areas, time with our expert animal care professionals, and a special opportunity to meet animals up close.
