LAND
It’s a great thing to remember that Six Flags Discovery Kingdom started out as a zoo. They kept that part of their identity through a rebranding and expansion and still highlight a variety of animal-related acts in the park. When you get into the LAND section of the park, you’ll come face-to-face with exotic land animals.
1. Odin’s Temple of Tiger
The Odin’s Temple of Tiger exhibition features their star attraction Akasha, a Bengal tiger, diving into the clear blue waters, giving her audience a captivating view of her underwater. Occasionally, Akasha will be flanked by two Siberian tigers, Maksim and Mischa.
TIP: You can really get up close and see Akasha dive, but just be prepared with some extra clothes if you do!
2. Giraffe Encounter
After seeing Akasha, one of the fiercest animals in the park, make you way to the Giraffe Encounter and interact with the tallest animals in the world. For a nominal fee, you’ll be able to head up to the dock and feed the giraffes.
3. Butterfly Habitat
Now that you’ve seen the great big, majestic creatures, it’s time to focus on some creatures that are a little smaller. Head into their glass sanctuary and start spotting colorful butterflies. The helpful caretakers hope you’ll walk away with a newfound appreciation for the place the butterflies have in the ecosystem.
SEA
1. Dolphin Discovery
One of the highlights for SEA is the chance to wade into the water and meet the park’s bottlenose dolphins. Be sure to pack a swimsuit and brush up on your swimming as the park will allow you to swim with their dolphins after an informative lecture on proper behavior with these highly intelligent animals. Make sure your swimming’s on point, though. Because the Animal Care staff will be the ones to determine whether you can complete their program or not.
2. Sharks in the Dark
Another captivating offering made by Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is the chance to spend the night with what they deem to be misunderstood creatures: sharks. That’s right, going to Six Flags gives you the chance to undergo another informative, learning program about the sea and at the end of the day, be able to sleep inside a room surrounded by an aquarium full of sharks. Don’t be afraid and understand these creatures!
3. Seal Cove
Head over to the seal cove and watch some friendly seals and sea lions take in the sun, play around and, for a fee, be fed by you. You’ll also get to know the difference between a seal and sea lion (it’s their ears). Lastly, you get to know the touching story of Sgt. Nevis, a sea lion who fought through horrific injuries to become a featured part of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
