Tiger Mountain

Go nose-to-nose with Amur (AKA Siberian) tigers on a woodland that recreates the Russian Far East. In this showcase of the Zoo’s animal enrichment program, discover how training, toys, and foraging games help the big cats stay fit and stimulated.

What to See and Do

Daily Tiger Enrichment Sessions
Schedule: 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Additional session on weekends in April through October at 4:30 p.m.
See amazing cat behaviors right before your eyes as keepers work with the animals to strengthen bonds and stretch muscles and minds.

Play with giant cat toys.
Sniff the musky scent that makes tigers react like cats with catnip, and test your strength on a specially designed tiger pull-toy.

See tigers jump; see tigers dive; see tigers do puzzles.
Watch our tigers stalk a deer hide that hangs overhead, cool off in their swimming hole, or rotate a treat spinner to find hidden snacks.

Be a field scientist.
Take note of signs of a tiger’s presence. Listen to a big cat roar and record your own tracks in a camera trap.

Saving Tigers in the Wild

In 2006, the Wildlife Conservation Society and Panthera, a wild cat conservation group, together launched Tigers Forever. This  collaborative effort aims to increase tiger numbers by 50 percent at eight WCS tiger landscapes across Asia over 10 years.

After a visit with the tigers, head over to see the Big Bears!
