Before and after the show, you can visit the outdoor Horse Walk and meet the four-legged stars.

The Yeti Fun Zone has whole families navigating underground tunnels, spiral slides, climbing structures and the Yeti treehouse to escape undetected by the Big Footed creature himself. At the end, those wishing to celebrate their escape in style can hurl themselves off the top of Monkey Jump Tower into a huge inflated bag below.
