February 14th, 2026 

Join us as we celebrate our one true love - wildlife conservation! 

 

Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Chehaw with a day full of animal enrichment, education, and love! 

On Saturday, February 14th, guests can watch our animals enjoy special Valentines themed treats and activities throughout the day. From heart shaped snacks for cheetahs and rhinos to fruit bouquets for lemurs and scented enrichment for coatis, each experience is designed to promote natural behaviors in our animals. 

In addition to interactive enrichment chats with our education team, visitors can explore festive displays across the zoo, including a “Sweethearts of the Savanna” kissing booth, bat and red wolf scent enrichment, and themed decor throughout the exhibits. 

Guests can also stop by Education booths to create conservation-themed Valentine cards, snap photos at our Valentine photo booth, and learn more about how love for wildlife supports conservation efforts.
