Special evening open houses called "Twilight Tours" are held three times a year (spring, summer, and fall). These are always held on Saturday evenings. The only time the compound is open in the evening, the cats are much more active, and we give them all enrichment items. Also, visitors can wander around parts of the compound that are not open to visitors during the day. This is because Twilight Tours are restricted to adults only (18 and over). There is an admission fee of $15 per person. Our cat's "adoptive parents" are invited to attend the Summer tour as our special guests.

We do not offer online tickets sales currently (processing fees!), please call 661.256.3793 between 10 am and 4 pm (except Wednesdays) to prepay over the phone. We expect September may sell out, so we anticipate NO gate sales, you must buy tickets in advance.

Doors open no later than 5 pm (4:45 if we are set up in time) until it's dark out. There is a bake sale sponsored by FCC's American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) chapter, a raffle, a barbeque by the Rotary club, and other surprises - goldfish in the fishing cat ponds, watermelons for the jaguars - there's something different every time, and of course lots of beautiful cats to see, hear, and photograph. Call (661) 256-3793, 10 am-4 pm except Wednesdays.
