The outdoor habitat created for the giraffes includes three acres of space designed to replicate the African Savannah and has multiple viewing areas for the public, including areas where the public can view the giraffes feeding. 

The giraffe’s barn includes a specially designed, three-layer floor with a slip-resistant finish, an indoor exercise area, adjustable hay racks to accommodate the different heights of the giraffes, windows are positioned at the giraffe’s height so they can look outside during the winter and multiple heating systems to ensure proper temperatures.
