Have you ever been on a cruise?  If not, why not try one this spring? Now is your time!

Join us for a fascinating and relaxing week at various ports-of-call at Seafari: A Conservation Cruise* at the Little Rock Zoo!  Explore the Zoo's ports-of-call featuring the world's exotic animals right here in the heart of City. 

(*No actual cruise will be taken from the Zoo.)

From the magnificent continent of Africa's zebras and lions to Asia's elephants and orangutans, to the eagles of North America to South America's bush dogs and maned wolves, you can visit the world in one day.  Come join the Zoo's cruise staff as they lead you on this unforgettable journey - a fun adventure at sea with friends and family. 

The Arkansas Diamond Train and the award-winning historic Over-the-Jumps Carousel will be open as well as all outdoor playgrounds!  Café Africa will be open with new food offerings.  We will also have food trucks:  Flossie's Funnel Cakes, Wentworth's BBQ, W & M Concessions, and Juicy J's Chicken and Fish.
