Global Wildlife Center was featured in the 3rd grade Harcourt Science Textbook, Louisiana edition. Click here!
At Global Wildlife Center, education is paramount. Children
are taught the value of wildlife conservation and education
through experience. The effectiveness of touch as a teaching
tool is evident every day at Global Wildlife Center. Here
children are able to wiggle a camel's hump, rub the giraffe's
eighteen inch tongue, and feel the wooly fur of bison.
While on tour, the children are able to witness first-hand
the fascinating natural behaviors these animals exhibit in
our free and wild atmosphere. The educational and entertaining
safari tours instill the importance of life and conservation
of natural resources in our children's minds, and through
the development of a personal experience, secures the future
of wildlife...for their children.
Safari Adventure Fieldtrip: It’s
as close to Africa as many of your students will ever get! You’ll
relax, because the students are contained in the safety of the safari
wagons; the animals roam free! A naturalist tour guide will educate and
entertain your students about the exciting behaviors they see on their
safari adventure tour. The students learn, through touch, as they feed
animals from all over the world.
Making a Reservation: One
teacher per class tours free, and the educational rate for students is
only $7. Chaperons and parents also receive a discounted rate of $11.
You’ll want to include at least one 32 oz feed cup per person at
$1 each. The more animal food, the more fun, so encourage the students
to bring extra dollar bills to purchase additional feed on tour. We
have beautiful grassy areas at the Visitor Center that are great for
playing games, and you’re welcome to bring a sack lunch from
school. Or, you can pre-order a hot dog meal with your reservation for
$5 a meal. Visit our Safari Gift Shop for our special children friendly
area of souvenirs that range from 25 cents to $2.
