🦒 Shared Zoo Experience: Wake Up with Giraffes and Enjoy a Year-Round Heated Pool!

Introducing Giraffe, our brand-new apartment and the newest addition to the Safari experience at Zootastic Park. This one-of-a-kind stay is attached to the giraffe barn itself, giving you a unique opportunity to experience the animals up close while enjoying access to the shared enclosed heated pool, open year-round, and shared hot tub.

Escape to a getaway where adventure meets relaxation. Hand-feed the giraffes through your private barn access, visit the reindeer and goats in the feeding area just steps away, then take a dip in the shared enclosed heated pool or unwind in the shared hot tub. These amenities are shared with guests staying in the other Zootastic apartments.

Your stay includes exclusive, complimentary access to our private zoo, where you can meet and interact with a variety of friendly animals, perfect for guests of all ages. Wake up to the sights and sounds of the safari, and don't miss the daily roar of the lions around 5 PM, a thrilling reminder of the wild just outside your door.

At about 3,000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, Giraffe sleeps up to 10. It is the perfect home base for multiple families traveling together, a group of couples, or one big crew that wants room to spread out. Two queen bedrooms have their own private en-suite bathrooms, and the kids get a bunk room all their own. No stairs to get in, either. Walk right through the door and you're home.

Please note: The zoo is closed on Tuesdays from Labor Day through Memorial Day, but you'll still have full access to all the animals that come with your rental.

Whether you're here for family fun, a group getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime animal experience, this brand-new apartment promises memories you'll never forget. Book your unforgettable stay today!
