Private porcupine and sloth encounters
A tiny private audience with an animal ambassador
Potawatomi Zoo
The zoo offers private classroom encounters with an education animal such as a porcupine, sloth, armadillo, opossum or bird of prey. These are 20–30-minute experiences for up to six people, rather than a standard public zoo visit.
Current location note / listed area: South Bend, Indiana; additional locations by inquiry only
Schedule at least two weeks ahead. Every encounter depends on the animal’s willing participation; confirm species, contact rules, season and accessibility. This is an on-site small-group activity, not a mobile animal delivery or established wedding package.
