Go behind the scenes for an up-close experience with our bobcat, Monty. In a new educational space located by the habitat, a Maymont staff member will provide an overview of bobcat behaviors, natural history and unique adaptations to our environment.
Observe Monty up close, from a safe distance, as he enjoys an enrichment treat in his natural habitat along the Virginia Wildlife Trail. Each 30-minute program includes a Q&A session and a photo op. (Please note: No flash photography or direct contact with the animal is allowed.)
This program is offered Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30pm through August, and Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30pm from September 5 through November 29, excluding select event weekends. Reservations must be made 24 hours in advance of the program start time.
Check in at the Maymont Farm at 1:15pm. Detailed meeting instructions will be sent in your confirmation email. A guide will lead the group to the bobcat habitat, about a quarter mile on foot.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and sun or rain protection and bring a water bottle. The program will take place rain or shine but may be canceled for severe weather. Capacity is limited to 8 people. Children must be at least 4 years of age and accompanied by a ticketed parent or guardian.
Most of the path is wheelchair-accessible, but the terrain is hilly and there are rough patches. Wheelchair-accessible restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the Maymont Farm and Raptor Valley.
Please note: You must complete a Liability Waiver form during registration for each participant in your party.
