Grandfather Mountain Animal Enrichment Day

July 31 @ 11:00 am - 3:30 pm

free with park admission
Grandfather Mountain's resident cougar plays with a new toy during animal enrichment day at the park.

On Animal Enrichment Day, guests learn how Grandfather Mountain cares for the nature park’s furry and feathered residents. An enrichment is a special treat, new toy or even an unfamiliar scent given to the animals to break up their routines and help keep them active and intellectually stimulated.

The day serves as a fun and educational way to highlight animal enrichment and its importance in caring for Grandfather Mountain’s native inhabitants. Watch enrichment demonstrations, talk directly with keepers and participate in family-oriented games and crafts.

The schedule typically includes activities such as: behind-the-scenes tours, animal olympics, animal knowledge contests, a creepy critter corner, enrichment tables, animal encounters, and an animal enrichment parade.

Grandfather Mountain Animal Enrichment Day activities are included with park admission and take place at the Wilson Center for Nature Discovery and adjacent wildlife habitats.
