Backstage Safari

Description

The Education Team at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park invites you to find out what happens behind-the-scenes at an incredible "New Species of Theme Park!" at Walt Disney World Resort.

During this in-depth 3-hour program you'll get an insider's look at the innovative ways that we are meeting challenges in areas such as conservation, animal nutrition and medicine, animal care and behavioral studies.

Highlights include visits to:

Backstage animal housing areas to meet some of our keepers and learn how we care for our animals on a daily basis
The Animal Nutrition Center, where all of our animal's diets are prepared
Our state-of-the-art Veterinary Hospital
Animal Programs Administration to learn how we are constantly seeking new ways to ensure our animal's health and well being

This program takes place entirely behind the scenes. Animal viewing is extremely limited. No photography will be allowed backstage.
