Experiences and Adventures
| Your adventure at John Ball Zoo wouldn't be complete without one of these rides or encounters. All of our experiences are generally available during the summer season. However, occassionally Mother Nature requires that we close them for safety. |

ZIP LINE This four story, 300-foot, zipline is the real thing! Riders are securely harnessed before they step off the platform and fly over the Zoo petting corral to another ridge! |
CAMEL RIDES Even the littlest tykes love a chance to ride the hump. Souviner photos available. This is a seasonal attraction. |
| SWAN BOAT RIDES Six giant swans grace the picturesque park pond just outside the Zoo. Two adults or an adult and two children fit nicely in the boats and a paddle around the pond is more of a challenge than one might think! This is a seasonal attraction. |
SKY TRAIL ROPES COURSE Four stories tall with two climbing levels, this
adventure course, gives you a chance to test your courage and strength,
but once you get the hang of it, it’s downright fun! Children
must be 48” tall to go alone or may be assisted by a responsible
adult if under 48". |
STING RAY LAGOON A 5,000 gallon outdoor touch pool that provides visitors with the opportunity to not only see, but to touch, feel and experience the Sting rays and sharks as they traverse the water. STING RAY LAGOON is the only exhibit of its kind in Michigan! |
BUDGY AVIARY Get cheek to beak in this newly expanded interactive exhibit! Located near the waterfall by the Children's Zoo, our Budgie Aviary allows you to walk through an exhibit full of colorful Budgies native to Australia. You can even purchase a feed stick and have birds feeding right out of your hand! This is one exhibit you won't want to miss! |
| PETTING CORRAL The Petting Corral in the LV Eberhard Adventure World is one of our most popular venues. The focus is on domestic animals complete with a traditional red barn. |
PYGMY GOAT CORRAL This toddler specific experience is a great way to introduce your young ones to safe and gentle animal experience. The baby goats love attention and we encourage the children to touch, and pet them. |
