Busch Gardens’ Animal Care Center opened to the public at the end of January and some noteworthy procedures have taken place in guest view since then. In the treatment center, guests watch through floor-to-ceiling glass walls as Busch Gardens’ skilled veterinarians do preventative checkups, treatments and surgeries on animals. The most recent procedure was a pre-shipment exam for a 2 1/2 year-old cheetah named Juno.

Within this 16,000 sq ft facility you will be able to experience educational nutrition shows, learn about animal care and enjoy an interactive diagnostic activity.
