Both days, there will be a “giraffle” to win a custom Ozzie painting experience. Drawing for the “giraffle” will take place at 1pm at the giraffe area each day. Tickets for the “giraffle”, with prizes including a Tuscany Suites & Casino staycation and unique one-of-a-kind animal experiences can only be purchased on the day of your visit.

Also, on Saturday, June 18, both locations of GREAT AMERICAN PUB are hosting a LONG NECK FUNDRAISER during operating hours.  100% of the long necks benefit the Lion Habitat Ranch.

Besides general admission, for which locals pay $20, Dad’s are only $10 on Sunday, Father’s Day, this wildlife sanctuary offers a handful of specialty experiences. Reserve your spot on Feast With the Beasts—an unforgettable private party that manages to stand out in a city with already flashy experiences. With this experience, you’ll have a private, glass-enclosed table to share with your guests, surrounded by lions. Staff will prepare a box lunch, create a picnic or formal meal, or guests can even bring their own picnic. Another unforgettable specialty outdoor experience at Lion Habitat Ranch is the Behind the Scenes Tour, which guides your party around the ranch where you’ll see staff feeding, cleaning, watering and bathing the animals. Guests can also reserve their spot on the Feed the Animals experience, where you can hand-feed a lion.  Ozzie also may be fed for $10 each and offers painting shows every 1/2 hour while open, where his artwork is also sold in the gift shop to benefit the habitat.
