Hang out with Beethoven, our two-toed sloth!
Ever wonder what a sloth’s hair feels like? Or what they eat? This wild encounter is a must-do while visiting Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Go into the sloth enclosure and have an up-close and personal encounter with one of the most fascinating and adorable creatures of all time—the two-toed sloth. We might be a little partial, but we think Beethoven is the cutest one of them all.
With this adventure, you’ll get to touch and feed Beethoven, while learning interesting facts about the two-toed sloth, like their behavior, diet, conservation efforts and more. Feel free to take as many pictures and selfies with Beethoven as you like. It doesn’t get any closer than this.
Cute and captivating, you won’t be able to wipe that grin off your face after a rendezvous with Beethoven. Attendees of all ages welcome! Children 16 or under must be accompanied by an adult. Group size is limited to 7 people. Each encounter lasts approximately 15 minutes.
