Wild Creation Challenge for Field Trips
Add an Extra Layer of Fun to Your Field Trip!
We’re excited to introduce the Wild Creations Challenge, a unique opportunity for your school or homeschool group to create an enrichment item for our animal ambassadors! This is optional for Guided Field Trips and Camp Expeditions Only
🔹 How It Works:
Before your visit, your group will work together to design and build one enrichment item that represents your school.
Enrichment items must be made from natural, animal-safe materials, such as:
Cardboard boxes painted with non-toxic paint
Papier Mache created with Elmer's glue or flour
Other creative, safe, and biodegradable materials
On the day of your field trip, bring your enrichment item with you to Tigers for Tomorrow. During the tour, your group will have the chance to see a keeper place your enrichment into an animal’s habitat, and you can watch their reaction!
🔹 Guidelines:
Only one enrichment item is allowed per field trip group.
This challenge is completely optional—but a great way to spark creativity and school spirit while contributing to the well-being of our animals.
There is no additional charge to participate.
This hands-on experience allows your group to witness the animals’ natural instincts in action and see the impact of their thoughtful creation.
Dragonfly Cafe
While you’re visiting the preserve, be sure to stop in and enjoy a Savanna Sip or a Wild Bite. Check out our menu below. Each item can be purchased separately, but please take advantage of our combo lunch for $10.
We will also have lunch available for field trip groups and larger groups during the week. If you are planning a group trip, make sure to let us know if you would like to include lunch. We also have a student special: hotdog, chips, and a drink for $5!
