Watch as certain animals put their trunks, snouts, beaks and noses to the test to discover uniquely scented items and treats created for them by their caretakers. Introducing various smells such as spices, perfumes, flowers or other animal scents encourages natural behaviors while providing new stimuli for our animals to enjoy. Guests will also have an opportunity to talk with the Zoo’s expert team members to learn more about the Zoo’s enrichment program.

This event is free with Zoo admission.
