Cheetah Encounter

Amazing! About 10 minutes long, bleachers for seating. Get there 15 minutes early to make sure you get a seat. Speakers are very loud, so move away from them if you have sensory issues. Got to see a performing red river hog as part of the show... He looked like a Dr Seuss character! The cheetah runs twice so don't blink!

I would agree with other reviewers in saying the show is about more than cheetahs and definitely more geared for small kids. They have kids participate so it can make for a neat memory for your family if the child gets chosen (get there early). Once the cheetahs come out it's amazing. It is worth it to see the cheetahs run at full speed!

Amazing animals and amazing zoo. The ONLY negative thing I would mention is that the show included more than cheetah, BUT it's a show about cheetah and when the speed was finally demonstrated it was up and back that was it. 1 cheetah ran full speed 1 time. Perhaps taxing the animal is dangerous and animal laws prohibit more than 1 run, I dont know. Theres more than 1 cheetah though and they dont get to exhibit full speed regularly so why not incorporate another animal or 2 and demonstrate speed 2-3 times?

Very cool. A bit short. Make sure to arrive early to get a seat. They close off the gate when the show starts.

It was awesome! It's amazing how fast they are. The kids enjoyed the show.
