Jaguar Cub Debut Weekend
FOTAZ Members Only First Look
Friday, November 7, 2025
FOTAZ Members, get ready for a special day! Join us for a members-only sneak peek to celebrate the debut of our jaguar cub. You'll have exclusive, all-day access to the zoo section surrounding the jaguar habitat.
Visit with our educators to discover more about jaguars, and from 4 PM - 6 PM, enjoy a frozen treat courtesy of Red River Bank.
Mom, Philly, and her cub will be able to move freely between their indoor and outdoor areas. Because the family has free choice to move around their habitat, we cannot guarantee a view of the cub. However, this is your first chance to see the new addition!
