The tour will include education by a staff conservation educator, a meet-and-greet with an animal care specialist, and an up-close experience with the animals.

Tours begin at 10 a.m.; admission is $20 for Naples Zoo members and $25 for general admission visitors.

The encounter runs for about 20 minutes, with a four-person maximum per time slot.
