There is no availability for field trips until June. We are booking Summer and Fall Field Trips now!
Looking for a wild experience for your class? Our educational field trips aren’t “Just the facts, ma’am.” Our trained volunteer tour guides will present the facts in an age appropriate and fun loving manner. If your class is very lucky, one of our tigers might just spray you! This is a walking tour along a gravel path, lasting around 1 ½ hours. You will be introduced to lions, tigers, and other exotic species of carnivores. Your group will be as close as 3 feet from the enclosures (plenty close enough to appreciate the size of the animals’ claws and teeth!) You will learn Carolina Tiger Rescue’s history, species information, and the personal story of each animal you meet.
Things to Know
Field trips may be scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays throughout the year, and we can only accommodate 75 people in a single day. This number includes students, chaperones, and teachers. Groups larger than 75 people will need to schedule field trips for multiple days.
In order to accommodate your preferred dates, please plan your field trip at least 2 months in advance. Summer field trips tend to book up by the end of April and Fall field trips book up by the end of August.
Please note that for ALL field trips, the minimum payment of $160 ($171.20 with tax) is due at the time of the reservation to secure your spot. The rest of the payment is due at the time of the field trip.
