Ever dreamt of swimming with penguins? Well, there are only two places in the world you can do it: their native habitat on the coast of South Africa or Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, KS. Who would have thought the best exotic animal experiences in the USA were in Kansas? You can have an otter on your lap, get stuck in the middle of a lemur stink fight, and giggle at the length of a giraffe tongue all before lunch.
Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Kansas offers some of the best exotic animal experiences in one place. Visitors can swim with penguins, meet otters up close and personal, touch kangaroos, and even have a lemur on their lap.
It is a surprise to most people that these unique experiences are available in Kansas. Whether you are an animal lover or just looking for an exciting day out, Tanganyika Wildlife Park is worth a visit. Hands down, the best part of the otter experience is hearing all the noises the otters make. The Asian small-clawed otter experience introduces you to the three resident otters at Tanganyika. Otter encounters at Tanganyika last minutes, and participants get to take their photo with an otter as a keepsake.
Visitors can wear wetsuits and jump into the water with playful African penguins. The penguins are incredibly friendly and love interacting with humans, so you'll have the chance to wade alongside them, touch them, and even play with them with their favorite toys.
This experience is for ages seven and up with an adult and nine and older if they want to participate on their own. While you come for the penguins, the staff at Tanganyika Wildlife Park are friendly and knowledgeable.
