  • In today’s vlog we head to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to celebrate National Zookeepers Week! We were invited to participate in a few tours at the park, which we were so excited to do! We started the day by helping the zookeepers in the prep kitchen, by prepping veggies for the animals. Seeing how they grow the food, prepare the food and store the food was so interesting and I was so happy to help in the kitchen. Then we experienced the Gorilla Insider Tour where we learned so many interesting facts and information about the gorillas, how they’re cared for and how they perform enrichment activities and how we can help the gorillas and their natural habitats. This was an amazing tour and we highly recommend checking this tour out on your next trip to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. We end our tours with the Animal Ambassador Tour, this is the tour with the youngest age limit, ages 3 and up can enjoy this tour. We met a ball python, a 3 banded armadillo and even got to feed some flamingos! We also learned so much about these animals. I think feeding the flamingos was my favorite part of this tour. Then we ended the day with a delicious bbq pulled pork burger for lunch and a front row ride on Iron Gwazi. It was an awesome day and I learned so much! We hope enjoyed spending National Zookeeper Week with me at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Thank you for watching and we’ll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

    With Jackson’s love for helping cook, I feel he would love something like this. Maybe help put a little bag together and see the food he helped create go to an animal would be so sweet

    I applied for this position at the nutrition center. Needless to say, I didn't get the job even with a bunch of experience and working for Busch gardens two different times. The people in the nutrition center work 6-2 everyday. They have the recipes that are made by a specific nutritionist for each animal that is in the zoo. However, it is the zoo keepers that actually feed the animals and help with their enrichment. Honestly, I don't recommend working for Busch gardens, but it is amazing how they operate the zoo part of the park. They treat those animals better than most of their employees!

    It’s amazing! I had know idea 💡 that the zoo keepers have such in-depth jobs as being farmer, chef, vet, etc. It just goes to show you that until you walk a day in someone else’s shoes (or watch a vlog of Tim doing it) you have no idea what someone else is living through. Whole new respect for the zoo keepers!!!!

I have many friends that are zookeepers here at the Sedgwick County Zoo, and alot of the general public have no clue that these keepers go to college and ha e a a bachelor degree. They have so much compassion for their animals and are great role models for our kids. They are believers in conservation and this beautiful earth.
