Celebrate World Elephant Day August 12 at Elephant Open House

Celebrate World Elephant Day at our Zoo Elephant Pavilion Open House!
Ever wonder how an elephant takes a bath, does her nails, or checks her weight?  Now, you can find out at the Roger Williams Park Zoo Textron Elephant Pavilion tour. The tour provides an up-close view of the workings of the elephant barn, and insight on the care elephants receive.  There are no animal interactions on the tour, and the elephants will not be in the barn during the tours.  Guests may visit with the elephants after the tour in the Ivory Ella Yard.
Twenty-minute tours of the barn are on a first come first served basis.   Included in price of admission.
There’s a lot to explore during your visit:

Soaring Eagle Zip Ride – Witness breathtaking views 115 feet above the Zoo in comfortable side-by-side seats.  The ride is sensational. Tickets are available at the admissions gate or at the entrance of the ride. Last ticket sold at 4:15 pm, last ride is at 4:30 pm. There is no advanced registration.

Camel Rides – Make every Zoo visit an adventure for the whole family!  Get up close this summer with our seasonal camel rides!
