Elephant Encounter

Get to know the African Elephant herd at Sedgwick County Zoo!

Get ready to meet an elephant and a Zookeeper at the Reed Family Elephants of the Zambezi River Valley Elephant Boma (the indoor habitat) to learn about how the zoo staff care for the African elephants who call the Zoo home – and have a chance to feed one yourself! You’ll also learn about African elephant conservation in the wild and what YOU can do to help care for, conserve, and connect with African Elephants.

Most kids love animals, so when the chance of seeing their favorites up close presents, of course, they’re gonna love it! Kansas is home to many great zoos and animal parks where the whole family can enjoy the presence of lions, bears, giraffes, and more!
