Binder Park Zoo Spring Activities: Giraffe Feeding and Family Fun in Battle Creek

Spring is in the air, and Binder Park Zoo is ready to welcome visitors back for another season of wildlife adventures.

If you have not visited yet this year, now is the perfect time to plan a trip.

Feed the Giraffes

The zoo's most popular attraction is back: the Giraffe Experience. For a small fee, you can climb up to the feeding platform and come face-to-face with these gentle giants.

It is a memory your kids will not forget, and honestly, adults love it just as much.

Pro tip: Go early in the day when the giraffes are most active and hungry.

The feeding deck can get busy on weekends, so consider a weekday visit if your schedule allows.

What Is New This Season

Binder Park Zoo has been busy over the winter. This spring, visitors can check out:

• Updated exhibits with new landscaping and viewing areas
