Baby Elephant Viewing Times
Ready to say, "Awwww"? After dedicated time behind the scenes to meet the herd, connect with her Care team, and discover her living spaces in her own time, this cutie is made her public debut on Monday, August 4, 2025, and we can't wait for you to meet her!
We’re going to start with small time increments so the calf can keep her current routine. Here’s her schedule for the upcoming week:
| Date | Timeframe | Location | Region |
| Saturday, 8/9 - Sunday, 8/17 | 9am - 1pm | Backyard and indoor elephant habitat | Asia Quest |
- Once you approach the elephant habitat, you’ll see signs directing you to the viewing area.
- Volunteers will be on-hand to answer your questions as the line moves.
- We’ll announce the viewing plan for the following week here, so bookmark this page.
