25% of the tour is self-guided thru and around our small animal habitats and there are informational signs that help you along the way. Education animals will rotate in and around our main pavilion all day & make up another 25% of your visit to Sharkarosa. These will be interactive animals accompanied by ranch staff that you are free to interact with and ask questions about. The remaining 50% is on a seated Safari Tram which takes you into the habitats of our large animals: camels, zebra, deer from around the world, etc. Some of these animals you are welcome to pet and others are just for viewing. The staff driving the tram will instruct you in each habitat. On average the Safari Tram runs once and hour and is a 40 minute ride. The Kids Bucket Train runs an average of twice an hour.
