Sensory Tour

A Special Experience for Guests Who Are Blind or Have Low Vision

Guests who are blind or who have low vision can request a free 30-minute guided sensory tour of Regenstein African Journey with an educator. This special experience includes an overview of the animals in the building and their many adaptations.

The zoo’s expert educators provide rich verbal descriptions of the animals as guests pass by meerkats and chattering lovebirds. Guests can also feel biomaterials to get a sense for the animals in the building, including an African spoonbill beak, giraffe vertebra (as compared to human vertebra) and giraffe tail hair.
