Cheetah Encounters in San Diego
In your Cheetah Encounter, your private keeper / educator bring one of our cheetahs out of his habitat on a leash. During your “cheetah chat”, your guide will educate you on all things Cheetah. You’ll learn about their special adaptations that make them the fastest cat in the wild, the critical survival challenges they face, and the extensive, heroic, and amazing efforts by our conservation partners in Africa.
Even though FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANY PHYSICAL INTERACTION WITH CHEETAHS, you will still be in awe to see one of these majestic animals up close.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Cheetah Encounter
Will I get to pet the cheetah?
NO. Federal law prevents any physical interaction with Cheetahs. However, we will bring one of our cheetahs out of their exercise yard on a leash, and you will be able to stand nearby.
Do I need to avoid wearing any particular types of clothing or perfume during the Encounter?
If you are wearing a hat, we may ask you to remove it.
