Dine Like They Do on the Discovery Channel

The morning is the cats' most active time of day. Diners will get an early peek at the animals as the zoo's manager of carnivores talks about wild cats and answers questions about the behaviors on display.

The feast with the felines is on Feb. 14 at 9:30am. Tickets, which must be purchased by Feb. 11, are $65 for zoo members and $75 for nonmembers.
