Things to Do with Kids

You “herd” right! Llama Trek is back at the Minnesota Zoo. Llama Trek, the special experience along the Northern Trail, allows guests to walk among free-roaming llamas.

With minimal separation from the animals, guests will get a great opportunity to observe llamas lunching, llamas munching, llamas scratching and llamas napping. 🦙

The Llama Trek experience is included with general Zoo admission through September 7th. For additional fees, guests may also feed a llama or try walking a llama on their designated llama walk path. Don’t forget the camera! If you’re in love with llamas, make sure to check out their unique Backstage Pass experiences, too!
