BOBCAT ENCOUNTER

An Unforgettable Close-Up Experience with a Bobcat

Welcome to an unforgettable close-up experience with one of North America’s most elusive and captivating predators—the bobcat. Over the next 30 minutes, you’ll step into the secretive world of this stealthy feline, known for its tufted ears, piercing gaze, and powerful agility. Whether you’re here to learn, observe, or simply marvel, this encounter offers a rare chance to witness the bobcat’s behavior, adaptations, and personality in a safe, engaging setting.

This experience is designed for guests aged 12 and up, who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit. For your safety and comfort, all attendees are required to wear long pants—jeans are preferred—and closed-toed shoes.

We’ll begin with a brief overview of the bobcat’s natural habitat and survival strategies, followed by guided observation of its movements, feeding habits, and interactive enrichment. You’ll gain insight into how this solitary hunter thrives in the wild—and how conservation efforts are helping protect its future.

So keep your senses sharp and your curiosity ready. The bobcat may be quiet, but its story is anything but.

As with all encounters, we book according to the number of people interacting with the animals. These encounters take place outside and are currently limited to a capacity of 4, plus the keeper.

Once your encounter is finished you’ll be able to tour the farm and visit with many of our other animals that call Paws & Claws home.
