This educational and research-oriented zoological park hosts a number of animals experiences to provide greater learning and appreciation in the zoo visitors. One follows the goings on in the Giraffe House which contains Maryland Zoo's herd of reticulated giraffe, as well as okapi. Zoo-goers can choose tours of the Giraffe House and will be able to walk through the keeper area and also spend time visiting and possibly feeding the animals through the many viewing windows. Keepers will give an explanation of how the animals are managed and cared for, what makes the species special and unique, and their status in the wild. Polar Bear Watch is home to polar bears, ravens, arctic foxes, and snowy owls. During this encounter, the group can walk through the polar bear building and look at the kitchen and food preparation area, the video surveillance stations, and the bear dens. The keepers will explain how the animals are managed and cared for, and their status in the wild. Other animal interactions include penguin feeding, goat grooming, chimp keeper chats, and many others!
