Its eminently touchable attractions explore science in disciplines ranging from sports to space.

Films assume grand proportions on the Tuttleman IMAX Theater’s 79-foot domed screen, and galaxies become formed and deep space explored in The Fels Planetarium.

Plus, ten magnificent and imaginatively themed galleries, all featuring moving stories, unique interactive installations, and exciting background information, will take visitors on a journey through 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, celebrating the classics from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World, as well as the latest members of the Disney family—Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic.

Planetarium

Explore the night sky with cutting-edge astronomical presentations in the awe-inspiring Fels Planetarium. The giant dome—measuring 60 feet in diameter—provides the ultimate screen for cosmic exploration. Look up and see what the actual night sky would look like without the interference of weather, pollution, or city lights. The immensity and clarity of the view create a sense of wonder and stimulate the imagination.

Nestled in the quiet countryside, Lake Tobias resounds with the sight and sounds of the jungles and grasslands of six continents. Animals, reptiles and birds from around the world can be found here.

The wildlife park is both a zoo and a functioning farm. Employees work the 300 acres of farmland to grow food that feeds the hoofed stock. Some of the animals roam freely throughout the park, such as chickens, peacocks, and guineas. Lake Tobias also offers a variety of shows and exhibitions designed to educate and entertain visitors. Patrons often enjoy getting a real-life glimpse of what it’s like to manage and sustain a large wildlife park.

Hundreds of animals reside along 50 acres of exhibits and displays at our wildlife park. These exhibits include African lions, American black bears, baboons, Bengal tigers, monkeys, ostriches, kangaroos, American alligators, pythons, tortoises, llamas, camels, alpacas, zebras, and more. The lions, bears, tigers, and baboons are housed in some of our most spacious, exciting, and recently renovated exhibits. The reptile and exotics building isn’t just home to snakes and lizards; it also houses many other animals such as critically-endangered tamarins, exotic marmosets, tropical birds, a sloth, lemurs, and a few surprises!

The petting zoo allows visitors to feed and pet goats, alpacas, camels, and llamas. At the Reptiles & Exotics Facility, you can see eye-opening presentations on fascinating creatures and even touch an alligator if you dare. The feeding of alligators is one of our more popular attractions. This takes place at the outdoor alligator exhibit on Sundays at approximately 4 p.m., provided the alligators feel warm enough to feed.

Patrons can explore the park at their leisure to learn and be entertained by hundreds of creatures. Visitors should allocate about one hour to see the different exhibits.
