  • live animal exhibits.

Hospital Tours

CROW provides a unique opportunity to see wildlife rehabilitation firsthand and meet the staff responsible for their care. Campus Tours are the best opportunity for visitors to get an in-depth look into what patients experience from intake to release including the inner workings of our hospital and the treatment process. Tours take place directly after the daily presentation and last for about 1 hour. Learn more about the inner workings of CROW’s treatment process.
